Writing frenzy

I launch into a writing frenzy
time and again
scribbling hastily away
the words that suffocate my mind
and then there is suspicious silence



until it starts again
like a wheel set into motion
by wind or water
and the E-motion wells up
until the tide is high, too high

the waves are generated
by a storm of ratio
rushing waves
crush the dam
and I am scribbling hastily again

Ink Dragon Your Poem !

It is easy to answer all your requests in just a few words. It's all great! I think it is pretty much universally discriptive - great poetry. I even smiled and thought of the weather my lines and stanzas (sometimes too stormy lol) I'm grateful you wrote this. Thanks, Mark

I am green with envy

not just for the frenzy of words, but for your pro-active muse. (I suspect mine is seeing someone else, the slut) cheers, Jess

Don´t worry

a relationship with a muse is always a on and off thing. She´ll come back round when you least expect her!!! Well, that´s how it´s always been for me...dry periods when you can get nothing together and tell yourself: "There´s no time anyway...", and then BAM! something pops into my head and I find I have the time after all... Cheer up! Must be your turn soon! ID

Hey, Ink!

I've always liked the phrase "something pops into my head." Reminds me of popcorn. In this particular head, meaning mine, the things that pop are mostly corn. No, no, you misheard: I said corn, not porn. Regards ... and thanx, Chuck

Corn?

I´ll have a look at your pieces to verify that! *grin* ID

Nicely done!

I think that all of us can relate to this piece. The way you lulled into a silence in the first stanza and then slowly picked up speed again until the end was impressive, too. A very nicely written piece!

Familiar Places

DDCdogood The analogy is right on, it's like the sub-text of, the conjuring of a writer, exellent. One thing tho, about 'Scribbling hastily away', a little redundant or repetitive. Scribbling means, hastily written; staight from the dictionary. But still, great conjure. Maybe, 'Scribbling away hastily', you know? 'gotta keep em' seperated':) Respectfully DDC

It´s definitely a thought

but the redundancy is quite intentional. Also, I feel that my choice falls into step with the rhythm. But I´ll try out your suggestion and think it over! Thanks! Constructive crits are the best! I really appreciate this! Regards, ID

Hi Nina

Thanks for this. If there is a poem to which I relate it is this one. In fact I wrote a somewhat similar piece on another site entitled "The Diary of a Poet" - I think that was the title - which expressed how I keep coming back to express myself. Of course where you maintain a positive note, I become negative to say how my writing - at times - depresses and "I swore never to write again" and I try very hard to quell thses voices in my head but I am compelled by an inner force to keep writing. Thanks once again ... Leonard

Hi Leonard.

you are so welcome. Thank you for reading and commenting. I think of my writing as neither positive nor negative. It is a basic need for me. Sometimes the result will feel good, sometimes it will not feel right and I will be disappointed. But I keep coming back... I would love to read your "Diary of the poet". Yours, ~Nina

Hi Nina...

glad you are here with these words...the need to write it down is uncontrollable for me as well... doesn't matter at the time whether it makes sense or rhymes or even if I like it... just know I have to do it... like you do... Richard

and you also do a great job! May the need to write it down never leave you, my friend. Thanks, ~Nina

Dear Nina, I hope you don't mind, I am putting my foot in the door, having a look around while you're not looking! Like a wheel set in'TO' motion, its fine without the TO I think? The second waves could be waters to avoid repetition. Yours Ann

My dear Ann,

you have dug out an old piece, I feel so honoured by this! Thoughtful suggestions, as always, I´ll think it through. As this is an old write, I will have to dive into the feel of it again to decide... Thanks, ~Nina
