So Then

So Then

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

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.

Short and to the point. Blunt and intense. I like it.

let the emotion in,(inhale)... let it out, (exhale)... let it flow "to" you,..then "through" you... as I tell this to myself. :)
