愴

Looks and sounds to me as if there are words within that are aching to be expressed, slowly gathering momentum. I reckon from somewhere behind the veil, the poem throws a hook to the poet, and writing something down (anything down) helps a poet know themselves better - which is where it all starts.

Thank you, Josh 🌻 I think you're right. It's somewhere deep within, dormant, waiting for a spot of sunshine and inspiration to burst forth.

Stuff can't be forced.  Take your time....take a dep breath.  It will come.

Thank you, Robert :) I'm sure it will 🌻

Thank you, BP. I have hope...

I came back and found myself writing when all I intended was to visit.  The coming back was clearly a desire in me for these halls.  Your heart will know when your head has found the words to express its feelings and the words will flow.  And yes, a glass or two of your favorite red always seems to help.

Thank you for the write.

I love this :) Thank you. Red definitely helps.

Keep in there, This site has so often had eye catching posts from others that have inspired me to write something to post here.

Thank you, I will do just that x

A dismal place go I
suffering the woes of dark
over bumps and vines
but my pen will rise  

And so it is and shall be done x

The dreaded block, i hope the clouds part soon and you can barsk in the Sunlight of poetry soon
Love and light

Thanks for honestly expressing what we all, maybe almost all, of us feel at one time or another as we try to release poetic and meaningful words. Peace. oral

Thank you, Oral x

You are more than welcome. Hugs, oral

Who hasn't been here at one stage or another? I'm regularly in this state of flux, so much so that it doesn't overly bother me & why should it? It's not as if some publisher is waiting on my every word like in that Bryan Adams video, 'Summer of 69' video. ;-)

Although admittedly, it'd be nice to be in demand every now & then!

Thank you for the comment x

Definitely hate that blocked feeling
But your words are definitely there
I see how you respond to those who reach out to you
And the way you comment to those you venture to visit, which is how I discovered you
You feel it
You write it
Whether poem or comment
The dictionary is chock full of words
Yet it is the way you arrange them that gives them true meaning in the minds of those you read and encourage
Thank You

I love this observation. You hit the nail on the head because yes, it's definitely there. Thank you for stopping by and leaving this encouraging, affirming comment. I hit the follow button so fast 😅

Writer's block is a caul, that can make one scream at times. It's often a challenge to get back to where you belong. In a choir of poets.

I relate to that wholeheartedly... Sometimes all we can muster are poems about not being able to write lol. Welcome back! Its elegantly worded, and utterly relatable... Nicely posted, ma'am!

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts :) I'm yet to find my voice, but I am getting there, day by day...

It seems to me you've found it... Though perhaps you've yet to realize it :)
Keep up the great writing, Sasha 🌹

Thank you, NB 😢 You're so kind 🌻

Maybe this will help - Christmas Knickers by Rebecca Andrew and Candy Croc which is two short stories which has a character who is a writer with writers block and find a pathway via sex or at least a new sexual relationship.
My writing has not had the benefit of this medicine but I am writing about the loving relationship I have with my partner and we discuss what we want to achieve when we finally get together including our sex life, when it happens, and this has given me some confidence to write poems which are gaining some brilliant comments from some of the best writers in DUP.
take a look at the website booksbyrebecca and I think you can download a free copy there.

You have a beautiful face. Radiant.

Have you had that glass of cabernet sauvignon?
Honestly expected a word or two from you about the election and the Capitol riots as well
Love your visits
Awaiting your ink flow

SP, we're missing you from DUP, -- hope you'll be back in 2024. All the best, Josh.
