Death of a Poet
He lies there in his thoughts.
Watches helplessly as his Inspiration slips away.
Terror engulfs him.
His gut, wrenching.
He wants to vomit. (As if that will make him feel better!)
Things were about to change.
The fantasy he knew plays in his mind.
He must adapt if he wants to survive the real world.

I think that is THE question. :) thanks for reading and your comment brother! (Btw, I'm not going anywhere. I woke up and had to write this. I don't think my Poet is gone yet ltm.)

I was thinking about this very question as I was walking my dog this morning. I don't think writing defines me, but it's something that I now know I can do. It's kind of like being a reporter. Seeing life and telling stories ...

That's a great way of looking at it! When I write, it's so personal that there is inevitably a part of me in it. I don't know if that means it defines me, or, like you said, just telling my story. Thanks my friend!

fantasy is a brief respite from reality. there's a time & place for both.
the poems don't make us, we make the poems...
