THE CHISELED PEN

That importune urge to write....

                        

  THE CHISLED PEN

           I want to write....I need to write.
           But I loathe to see those squirley little words
           Aligned on a spotless, pristine virgin page! 
         It seems so one dimensional, pointless and....lonely.

           There is never any escaping it....that urgent feeling of
           Allowing one's blood to spill all over an innocent page
           Which would have been quite happy remaining blank.

           The importunity to show AND tell can make
           Any person nauseous ad infinitum well into the
           Silently screaming night, where the only sound
         Shattering the midnight calm is the sickening, mimicking,
           Scratch scratch, scratch of the writer's chiseled pen!

I find that though I "soil" many, many beautifully empty sheets with words, l seldom manage to get those words to a point where I like them enough to share them. I like the cross between irony and sarcasm here, knowing how much you love to write. Very nicely done. ~Jim

[Miss Sharon]

Thank you ever so much Jim for a wonderful review. Yes, I DO love to write and also like you, I find it growing more and more difficult to write things I am likely to share with anyone. But let's keep trying eh? ~Sis

[wordman]

ahh ! but the beauty it can bring,when that paper is stained with the writers blood
and the feelings pour out on that parchment. that`s where movies and books come from,your pain,your love
all your emotions of life.

[Miss Sharon]

So very true...and I do agree! The muse was being a bit cranky today. HA! ~Sharon

the chiseled heart writes chiseled words...and those scratches in the night are like ghost sounds, the spirit of what's left of love...and the white page like a gentle Casper having to have his spirit mauled by those very words.

love it.

[Miss Sharon]
