Something called Something

Something called Something

 

 

I wrote some poems all titled "Poem"

then published a book called Book

had an impassioned feeling I imagined as "feeling"

 

and then let myself go

hoarded all my creativity into nothing

an expansive expense of exposure

 

until I was condemned

cleared out of all my transgressions

to creativity

 

and never allowed

to pick up the pen again

and that was a deep pain

 

I called "pain."

Maybe writing those poems for Book was an emotional clearout. I'm not sure here but pain is pain. And I can't ever imagine you not picking up your pen to write again even after exposing your deep feelings. There are times when writing can bring a huge release. This poem is a bit of a puzzle to me. I am winging it here.

Maybe I will just keep writing about not writing anymore.

Well if it gets you out of a tight spot, then I say carry on regardless :)) Any writing is far better than I writing.
