Writers Fuel

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

White spaces saying fill-er-up.

 The fuel I give is unleaded.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack

The words are now embedded.

 

I write poems of love and truth.

Some are lyrics to a song,

On display for not just me,

The world can read along.

haha this is short and sweet..i think it displays your style..i can tell it is a poem by you..lol i feel like i tell you the same things in these reviews..but i cant help it..i love the rhyming, i love the flow of all of your poems..you have some type of signature embedded through the lines of each individual poem..you never make me tired of reading your work because you are so diverse..you dont just speak out on the same-o same-o topics its always something new..but even if it may be on the same topic you never repeat your thoughts its like you find a new way to describe whats goin on in your head..I love it..lol..I enjoyed the read...

Definitly a different way to look at a blank page.
Some look at it as a challenge....some as intimidating...
as a sure sign of the initial symptoms of virus of Writers Block
here...you embrace it as your destiny
to fill

love the meter and message

Blessssssssssss

I agree with all the other reviews of this. Short, sweet, and great rhyme. The first quatrain is perfect but I really like it all. NH

I see blank paper and I have to put something on it whether a drawing or words. White paper is something like an enemy to me. LOL I like this piece as I feel a connection to it.

Well DOne!!!!!

I really love the short poems that you do. This one made me smile. The only thing I would suggest you change is how you connect the two stanzas. They seem to float separate from each other, rather than work together. Other than that, the poem works fine. It made me smile. Best of luck :)
