The Power of the Unspoken Word

 

The Power of the Unspoken Word.

 

There is something so exhilarating

About an empty page.

Naked, bare, open,

Just waiting to be filled.

Potential seeping from every fibre,

Palpable.

Close your eyes, you can taste it.

An emperor, it demands to be used.

Words, letters, numbers, pictures,

It’s not fussy.

The hope, the promise contained in something

So bland, is overwhelming.

Anything can happen.

And will.

This really brings the feeling of what it's like to write to the fore. You've got talent. I love how you get so much from just a simple word, palpable. Anyone can use it, but you've used it in such a way it has weight to it. The next line confuses me a bit, I don't know what Emperors have to do with being used, but overall this poem really captures the emotion one gets analyzing the potential of a blank page.

I like this. There is something beautifully simple about a blank piece of paper. I distinctly remember the excitement I used to feel when I was in elementary school and got a nice, fresh piece of paper. This evoked a lot of feelings for me. Nice work. Are you by chance from the Baltimore area? Do you have a sister in the eighth grade. Not a stalker! Just a mom. Your face looks familiar and my son went to CHS. Just curious.

Ask a tree what it thinks of an empty page.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this piece. Can't wait to create. Kudos.

=]. Thank you! for expressing what I usually cannot put into words: the potential of an empty page for a writer! You write the incredible truth of possibility of what can happen when one can let their mind wander. Nice job. Thanks for sharing!
