So Then

Dealing with writers block....... it`s all in your head! Not from your SOUL!

                                     So Then
                      I have been
                      putting - placing
                      to much focus
                      on the word,
                      and not on the emotion,
                      being expressed with words.

                      The emotion,
                      the passion,
                      is where poetry,
                      is born.
                      ...... and the word is only a tool,
                      used,
                      to express the emotion.

Writers block finds me placing pen to papaer and simply begining to scribble until the lines form words and the words form a sentace. I can come back later to make any since of the jumbeled mess that usually results but, alas I am not blocked anymore. Very well done here too.

Nizhoni.....loved this description of why we write!
One of the most elemental tasks for humans is communication-to be acknowledged, heard, listened to. What would the world be like if we could not communicate? Everything in the universe is linked....by molecules, environment, languages, media etc. It is human nature to reach out by whatever mode is available to us.
I find writing very therapeutic!

Hmm interesting goood poem to express that and say it

[Priscilla Sayers]

Words can be powerful. They can be great or they can fall upon deaf ears if not spoken clearly. You have discovered the need for emotion to back the word and you are absolutely right. The word you write... Each and every one has a purpose a meaning in which produces an image a feeling, a window to your depth. crack the window further and see what may come. This was a great place to start.

[Chris Taylor]

Amen to that! A good piece to help us think to be more involved in the journey of our lives and not the facade.

[Brianna Brie]

I agree whole heartedly :) This has to be one of the best poems on writer's block written.
