Awaken
Sometimes, all one has to do is write.
Start that opening line, and see what comes about.
Somewhere out there, in that dark stormy sea,
Sits the possibility, that is this, or that, poem.
Slowly, steadily, It will revel in its own reveal.
It is there, all one has to do is stumble upon it.
Imagine yourself as knowledge, out there,
In the inert nothing… waiting.
Indeed, the light of an exploring mind,
Incessantly, would obsess your dreams.
Now see yourself, finally bathed in such light.
Not unlike a castaway, seeing sooty smokestacks.
Nothing could compare, spare one’s own awakening,
Not only into consciousness, but into life itself.
Notice that knowledge, once found, can be lost again.
Given that, perhaps It knows of life and death.
Ghost one moment, poem the next, and back again.
Ghouls, reincarnated a million times over the millennia.
Give It, and yours, Its best shot. Start that opening line.
Grant a poem, permission to be.
Just write
This really spoke to me after my long break from writing I have finally found words again, enchanted by this write.
Let your teeth show
Thanks!
I was in a writer's block myself when that first line came to mind,
and all of a sudden this piece came out of it.
Glad I inspired you to create!

through the ideas coming at me daily, often an idea that would work as a poem hits me and I'm off. Starting from an empty plate causes block too. Start with a full plate and edit - works for me - Prosaic write - Lady A

I agree, When a concept/idea
I agree,
When a concept/idea comes to me,
the writing experience flows smoothly,
the lines appear as if wanting to be written.
But, sometimes they like to play hide
and seek with a poet and this was
one of those times.
