Poets Agony

My response to Rhetts poem POETS BLOOD

This was created as I observed another poet trying

to create thru the struggle the pain and anguish

as I see this unfold before me so hard for

me to understand - as I just stream

The tears I cry are as ink on the paper that waits for

my first mark that continues into a river of words

my feelings flow endlessly each word chosen -

caressed so tenderly - is my life’s blood

Visions appear as I write always - some so dark so

beckoning some so bright so blinding some so

longing - full of love - pain the anguish

foretold

Vulnerable tortured souls are we each breath we

take we are sore struck we have no choice it

has to be done our life we pour out onto

that blank page before us lay -

waiting

The page should turn red with our

life’s blood that pours out from

our lifeless soul

We who souls cry out to be heard

against many deafened ears

against hearts that are

closed eyes so blind

and cannot see of

the heartache

inside of

me

Rhett - have you read my poem Agony of a Poet

Sorry Rhett - It is your fault. As I read you poem my poem above became alive in response.

Electric blue so blue

Jayne I did post this in August 2005 but nobody viewed it. So i thought I would post it again. This is true of us all who write. It is our life blood which is penned in on the paper that waits. always Blue

This is really you That takes a pen just so To write of things you feel So that others will know A lovely write and if inspired by Rett, then can think of not many that I would like to be inspired by. He is a great writter and understands the things that people are. Well done young Blue, You saw all those troubles through We knew in strength it was really you, Yours Ian.T xxx

Ian I often get inspired by reading others works here. I start reading their poems and my replies turn into another poem. I cannot help but write in response. As for the troubles they do not go away I still struggle with them but take it day by day.
