The Poet

With a pen And a paper Through words and sentences Expressions through metaphors Feelings explained in analogy Imagery in its most creative form Displaying the beats of your heart To a paper that does not reply Teardrops staining the pages Smiles engaging memories Earth and all its resources Thoughts of the world As I see it Imagination through the eye of The Poet

"To a paper that does not reply" I guess a poem has not jumped up and attacked you yet? they will, but until then this is a 'shot in the dark statement' me lass.

Try writing on the Turin Shroud instead of paper! It can be a great way to cure writer's block! Also crapper's block!

part of me wants to tell you to write about your observations instead of you imaginings, but then there's another part of me that thinks you maybe should get it all out in a journal first, and then maybe go read some literature, and then some literary criticism (www.poets.org is a good source) and then, after aeons of study, and a cathartic dawn of comprehension, then, and only then, should you re-endeavor to write an poeme. and another part of me thinks i should go bowling. who will win? i dunno.
