Poetic Musing

I love you too, Brenda. ❤

I feel the same way. I long to disappear in you words. Excellent ink, Lady Crim!

thank you my Darkest Lord I know in your darkened landscapes I always have a place.. love you my friend.. Crim

Love you too, Lady Crim!

we never force poetry, Crim,
it comes when it's supposed to;
if they could put poetry in a pill...

thank you John indeed it does.. poetry in a pill hmm.. love Crim

poetry as salve...but of course. nicely done Crim.

thank you Poetrician poetry is definitely a salve.. love Crim

I miss the "regulars" who have left.
I've tried to leave but then I feel homeless

You will always be # 1 Brenda
It's a lot of pressure,  I know

Thank yiu for your dedication
I always learn from you ....

sending you 1000 ehugs :-)

thank you David I feel the same way.. love you my friend.. hugs Brenda

I wish I had been able to read this when you posted. I've been battling a migraine and reading was just too much yesterday so I'm a bit behind today. Inspiration is a tricky thing, I think. My mind goes in turns...static or manic. I try to capture what comes when the words flow and let the rest of it go. Invariably if I try to force a write I end up hating it later. Your words are heartfelt and pure, and for that alone they will always be beautiful. Much love, beautiful dark angel

thank you lovely one sorry you were feeling badly.. yes I agree when I force something I end up hating it.. this was an honest spill that came easily enough for me I deeply appreciate you embracing me & it.. love Crim

Putting together words to make a worthwhile
poem is not for sissies. I used to take honest
critiques, and yes, they have helped me. But
these days I am not trying to impress, I merely
want to put my poems out there however they
happen. This is good poetry, Brenda.

thank you Jerry you're so right it's tough at times to write something with any kind of power.. I'm grateful for your ink..  love Brenda

Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom, Lady Crim.  This should be required reading for novices, and it's a delight to those who have been following you.  

I want to visit that dream place
right now that door is locked to me
I miss your poetic voices today
that always distract me
in times of pain
& it is bloody hell

You may struggle and be distracted but you're still writing up a storm.  And I love that last line!  I'd rather read your writes than pop a daddy's little helper.  Just as habit forming though....

thank you Sir Crow inspiration is a tricky thing but even when I'm uninspired I can count on the rest of you to calm my anxiety.. love Crim

nice, okay & all, but..........

.......you need an 'edge' to keep ye out of cliche'ville......

for you, i dont pretend know what that means. Ha!

i really dont KNOW anyfckn thing..................bless ye, dear

thank you Daniel try as I might I end up in cliche'ville more often than I care to.. love Brenda

Crim,
Nice to know I am not alone in my lack of muse... but this is honest writing, vulnerable and unpretentious.  That is fantastic! Well done you:)
Bless

thank you Mel no we all go through those days dear one.. I deeply appreciate your comment.. love Crim

This made me tear up, for real.I have tried to leave here as well and honestly, it seriously felt like something was missing from me.  I have tried to let go of something that has been so profound in my life. I will never let this part of me go.No. Fucking. Way. . Its who I am, its who we are. Much love to you crim. You truly are a beautiful soul. <3
