A Poet's World

As one who has twice chanced a self-throw of the dice and lived to tell the tale...

A permanent solution to a temporary problem...  

I love the perspective you offer...

Thank you, our dear cat, how you honor me my effort.  

I'm also grateful how inaccurate you were, both times, at craps.🎲

it consumes us, this savage lust.
your poem is the torture we inflict upon ourselves,
a terrorism that is uncommon from you...

Yes, John; uncommon from, but not to me.  It's a dangerous profession, and an obsession I've had since age 14.  And over the years when I see one of our own going to rot, I say what I know to knock their senses back,  
again,  
until the next time.

An interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, dear es, I hope you never know how much, this dark side.  If you read Hep's and John's comments that I'm also in the middle of answering, you'll see how it's touched each of them.

This is reality, as you have worded so perfectly.
Thanks for the heads up. 📝

Guaranteed, dear FM, you know I always will.🔥

damn!!!..i can't express how much i appreciate your articulation here Jade...such beautiful restlessness. .ah yeah

Thank you so much, Naajir...

thing either my honey!

Thank you my darling, and for sharing your love and infectious enthusiasm that I am able to feel all the way over here!

Thank you!  I love it!

Why thank you, gracious Sara, how much that means to me!

Alright now you've done it :) I've been hiding behind writers block these past few months. I guess you're expecting me to be me again. Thank you for reminding me of my tribal responsibility to write ;).

Well I seldom blurt that out, cause in the past some writers NEED to believe such a thing exists so they have an excuse to coddle themselves.  As for my own hands-on experience, I found out years ago that there's no such thing.  I was collaborating with a fetish photographer on a coffee table of his latest work and wanted me to write poetry to accompany a number of those photos.  I wrote two dozen writes over two weeks.  I had never managed such a feat until then, and was writing other pieces for other projects at the same time.  I have never had a writer's block episode since, and I discovered why, and THAT is when I as an author became enlightened. 😳  
 
I hope you'll receive your own eureka moment - I don't try to change a writer's way of thinking, but I let you know it can happen to you.  I wish you all the best on this issue of struggle for so many (which is only part of what my poem is about.

"There's no such thing as writers block" oh how I believe this to be GOSPEL! nicely expressed lady :)

Thank you, sir, and please continue to believe this truth, and you can't go wrong!

respectful,
ever

Writers block is not a problem, sometimes I just don't want or need to write, but when I do words come easily, although they need some effort to knock them into shape. It was Tchaikovsky who said that creativity is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. So to those who claim writers block, I suggest that it might just be laziness.

Oh my, this comment of yours rather fell through the cracks!  This is very late, but redressing that oversight at last, sir...  your words have their own corner of their own that holds up to certain of those who consider themselves writers of sorts.  I appreciate when you stopped by to read & express about my poem, thank you.
