"Speak"

Micropoetry

An open book
glowing white page
ink enticing
seducing me...

“speak”

Beautiful. That first gleaming page, almost begging to be chosen by you. I always find it difficult to write on that first page. I want it to be worthy of being on the first page. I told this once to an ex and she looked at me like I was some kind of experiment gone wrong. Maybe that is why she's my ex :)
A beautiful invitation to all, to speak. I want to write this on the cover of my journal.

The first page always seems brighter - what a beautiful illusion!! I know what you mean, the feeling of not wanting to ruin a new book with unworthy writing. You should have told your ex, only a writer could understand that. ;o) Ah, thank you - please write it on the cover of your journal!!

I did.it's one of those old fashioned aw material ones that have became trendy again and it looks more loved with the words on the front. thank you :-)

The finest of micropoetry! Can be interpreted dually. Literally and figuratively. As if an open empty book is waiting for you to utter your story, to pen it with your ink. As if you are interacting with a person, an open book, with whom you have a deeply connected moment.

[Suzy Hazelwood]

Thank you very much, I am enjoying the micropoetry!!!♥ I like that duality in poetry or lyrics. Open books do - I'm sure they have a concealed personality - they beg to written on!! :oD

What can I say, only one word "Butterflies" :~)

[Suzy Hazelwood]

That's a very good response - could well happen!!! :oD

I feel the same way when ever i open my journal. Like the page is waiting for a conversation and doesnt care if its witty or clever it just wants you to write. I love it. GREAT POEM

[Suzy Hazelwood]

Thank you Crystal, yes, it does indeed feel like that! :o) Most times when I go to write I have a pretty strong idea of what I want to write, but there have been time when I've just opened a blank document or turned a new page of a notebook and decided to write whatever came into my mind. That invitation of "speak" is very much there. It's quite entertaining to see what comes out in that way, I should do that more often!

I wonder if the pen was asking the poet or the poet asking the muse? A beautiful piece describing the lure of ink and a blank page... wonderful!

[Suzy Hazelwood]

Thank you very much! Could be either way, you never can tell ;o) A woman on a writers site told me the other day she thought this was sexy. I laughed, and said "only a writer would think of that!!" :oD

Wow, thanks for reading sooo many of my writings, so kind of you, I really appreciate all of that!!!

well, you know, it might have been all that seduction and enticement :)

[Suzy Hazelwood]

Haha... yes I think it was those words - I need to be careful what I say!!! :oD

nah... let people think what they want; that's the great thing about this poetry racket :)

A very haiku-like, tweetable, micropoem from the queen of micropoems herself. Have an ink pot! Oh, we don't have those anymore.

[Suzy Hazelwood]

It's closer to haiku than my usual micropoetry style. For some reason I've been writing in that way recently. Might be because I'm reading a lot on Twitter written in that way.

Haha...thanks for the virtual ink pot - that's lovely - it's the thought that counts!! :oD

A poem, with brevity...I LOVE it!! Girl, I am so glad I found you this evening!

[Suzy Hazelwood]

Brevity is something I've taken a while to learn, (and still am learning!) age helps with that too.

Thank you for all your wonderfully warm and welcoming comments Kelly, I'm very glad you found me! I see from your profile you're from San Diego (big wave to you across the water) I'm in England and it's first thing in the morning here! I've taken a quick look at your work Kelly and I can see you are an excellent writer. I'm going to come back later today, might even be this evening, but I promise I will read your work then, when I'm not so rushed - very much looking forward to it!! :o)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, darlin! I sent you a friend request, too! Have a great day, Suzy!
