Writing Poems

Writing poems
written February 17th, 2021

These poems
don't seem like much
as I sit at my desk
with the blinds open
writing on the green graph paper
I have always written
engineering homework
and poems on.

The exhaustion doesn't hit
until I post them online
moving the handwritten original
from unfinished to finished notebook.

finished (for now)
finished (but not quite right)
finished (but not good enough)
finished (but not worth speaking out loud)
finished (and to hell with it post it)

Something about that act
makes me want to
go back to bed
even though the sun
is bright in the window
sure that
I will never emerge
to write another word.

Thank goodness
that feeling isn't permanent
or this unfinished notebook
now filled with bits and fragments
words forgotten as soon as they were written,
would be filled with blank pages.

And the finished (but not quite right) notebook
getting heavier each day
with MY words
that have been released into the world,
would only have that one poem in it.

 Your not finished
You only just begun
Every day is your start
There are many days ahead
Begin start it all up to you
Even if up run out of paper
If your pen goes dry
There is always more
Your not finished
Till your done

I do always wake up eventually and write more. Hard for me to hold onto habits that are good for me. Thank you for your words. Hugs!

 That familiar feeling of being spent after creating, writing and posting is a true sensation. No matter how long the gestation each poem or song or verse is a birth of ideas and expressions to be shared. Writers give willingly of the very essence of being. Each creation can take away from us until we find inspiration as sustenance. Your work feeds us all. Carry on.
