Long Time


Long Time

                                               Written by Tink 1/05/10

In a blink of an eye,
Time had passed by
Quicker than I could have believed.

One minute I was here
Wiping away a tear
Of a Vampire sitting alone.

Next thing I knew
I’m sitting  with you
Trying to get new words to flow

Muses gather in the corner
And I feel like the mourner
Staring at this blank page.

It’s been a LONG time…

From a book I read some time ago:

Und die Muse, das Luder, pennt. (And the muse, that slut, is sleeping.) I've been working on a poem on writer's block and want that quote to go in there. Just having trouble to get rid of the all-too-familiar image of the blank page. How about a challenge? Write a poem about writer's block without using the words blank, white, page, screen, pen! I'm working on it :) Yours, ~Nina

Tag you are it my favorite Dragon...

Und die Muse, das Luder, pennt. And the muse, that slut, is sleeping. Whoring with my words while dreaming. She refuses to share Leaving me hanging wanting and needing more. Like a drug dealer, she feeds me the paper Allthewhile dangling the ink over my head and fingers to get what she wants of me. Being the Bitch she is, She hoards it all from me Running to the next author Promising words and glee. How's that for off the top of my head? Your turn!

Here's mine:

Butterfly thoughts flutter and caper my net of words is still empty no colourful wings to grasp inspiration is intangible just out of my reach und die Muse, das Luder, pennt oh, wake, my muse, and rush to my rescue help me pinpoint those hyperactive moths for I am lost without your guidance alas, my muse, the slut, still snores and the butterflies attck my unprotected head a closer look reveals their demon faces und die Muse, das Luder, pennt Yours, ~Nina

Yours is great too!

Loved especially the 2nd line, expanding the slut theme! We ought to do this more often. I hope we will be able to establish group workshops for this kind of thing. Yours, ~Nina

there's a certain spontenity with challenging and writing this way! Muttering Madwoman and I used to do this and the work that came out of it was great. This is so much fun to me. i love the idea of group workshops of this kind! let me know how i can help with that! (psst, be sure to check out the new challenge titles on my writer's page ~ two good titles...) I'm ready for more... Live, Laugh and Love (and don't forget to write) Tink

Tink when I battle the Block I burn up a lot of note books

With sing song and rhyming eg. I will sing the old tv comercials on paper or mother ghoose or write what ever comes to my little brain Like Cat hat in french ect. ect. or sam i am, then i'll float about my house cleaning cooking orginizing stuff and saystuff out loud like time and space the final frontteer or watch those stupid cartoons on tv Family Guy and Simpsons most south Park and Daria when I can get them I've trying pulling from others poems and comments here too you'll be surprised what comes to mind as you read other peoples comments, if these don't work just relax in a Hot tub or a HOTTUB and try to keep everything outof your mind I dare ya, darn it if some thing won't creep in I have fits when something comes to mind and I have no pen or paper I have crap on tore up napkins, brown bags scraps, I always ask for paper at the gecorey store, I go through all the games I played when I was a kid I listen as I write and read I have to, music all kinds with words I understand, not Opera, but religious old rock, jazz, even rap music, music is poetery in motion many a poem has become a hit song. I get the block mostly when I have not written everyday. I force my self to at least sit and read the others here at Neo when I can if I have no conection at home here, I walk my fat butt to the berry I am a poet junkie *L* Donnie/Sinbad
