~ A Poet Needs Patience

~ A Poet Needs Patience

 

A poet should breathe, the air of everything,

And be happy even with silent moments,

A poet, should not ever rush or spin around;

Too fast, for supervision, too greedy for need,

 

A poet needs time to let it land,

Or take it more spontaneously,

Freedom to express, and paint,

Trueness that shall feed,

Not the upper need…

 

The poet’s brain in time and rest

Shall express the words at best…

 

~ Elisa Laura

Author's Note

My attempt at / to all the Writers and writer block's flying around here ... :D
I know I have a lot more of readers, than I have reviewers, but I don't care...
I write for me, and a few who I truly reach... (They know who they are... *grin*).

For me real life is more important then being around here, what I reflect here, is out of real life, experiences... dealing with my "first writers block in all the years" I've been writing, I never ever thought it would happen to me, still, it does, but how, you deal with it, is the key... ;-)

So embrace your "enemy, your Writers Block" and see words always come...

Just enjoy life, feel, live, dream, always, and breathe out, on the right moment...
Have patience with yourself... xx

I'm not here to be on top, I'm here to spread my thoughts, and to
enjoy good writers, and I read them always... they inspire me, as I inspire them.

Life should be relaxed, and easy... don't over-rush yourself...

Enjoy for it can be so over... xx

Whoa, you startled me with that picture love ;P I have unspeakable admiration for your unwavering optimism on writing and life in general...perhaps it just comes naturally, but knowing you as I do, and the battles you have fought and continue to fight, it must take incredible strength to retain such a refreshingly upbeat attitude.

I desperately want to take the advice you've offered in this piece, and maybe I will learn to do so in the future, but I have this need for attention...I don't have to be the top writer (though it used to irk me in the past, but not so much now, so maybe that's a start ;)) but it just gnaws on me that I don't get the attention that many others do here...now, I'm a competitive person on the basis of my hockey background, and maybe that's what makes me feel that way, but it feels more like selfishness...I get those feelings of resentment, then I feel guilty for not being more appreciative of the support I do get, for that's what's important...anyways, before I start writing a novel here in full view of the site, I'll cut to the chase and let you know what you already know, that you've become an incredible source of inspiration to me, and you're teaching me to be thankful for what I have even if you don't realize it...I'll be in touch soon sis...love and hugs in the meantime, and never change :) xoxo

My sweet brother, I'm in tears really, you mean the world to me, by saying all this, and also that you look so close to yourself too, it's such a honest and heartfelt review. I know you also on a different way, and I know you've been through a lot too, that's what gives us such a strong bond together... it's really touching to see you fighting with this, and I truly hope, you can relax a bit more, (for I've learned urgh, must have learned it too)... I was a true workaholic, until my body, didn't wanted me to anymore... just now, I chillax, and (not that I'm not compaetitive either) I did martial arts for years, and danced, and even turned).. all I have to let go, and replace for more creative arts, I can be satisfied with, painting/bodypainting/writing/music/piano/guitar etc... it keeps me alive in the meantime... So really, life is just life, but it's so soon over, I've learned to give and love and live a 300%... (maybe it's my fear)... it can be too soon over, on the other side I know how beautiful it can be... :) I can't thank you enough my dear you mean the world to me, love you muchly! xxx

I like very much each word of this poem chosen carefully. It's the best poem I read this week. Thank you for sharing.

is not our surroundings part of us as well?
Are we blessed with upper as well equal balance not just tolerating or existing
what is said we reap what we sow
why paint the canvas with such dismal discordant macabre threads?

[Joyce S. Greene]

How I wish I could live the life your describe as ideal for a poet, Elise. Must be why I'm having trouble finding inspiraton lately. Sigh . . . Your poem is a beauty and lends insight to those of battling with writer's block. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you so much my dear Joyce, I wish you all inspiration of the world, myself, I'm facing my true writersblock for the first time since I guess my 9th years of age, or earlier... it's weird, but honest... coming soon back for you xx

I have come accross with patience too many times, i stretch it beyond its limit... in so to survive... Life is comparable to poetry as it always does in the words we write... poetry is a reflection of our life, we must not forget we write for the pleasure for ourselves to expressed our heart's content... writer's block, i stumble on him/her/it too many times, perhaps I am just lazy, or perhaps my heart was just to restless that it cannot create the words in order - often too crowded to write... that's what i feel in all the writers block... but like how i give patience in life, i give it to poetry as well... creativity takes time...

Brilliant work big sis, hugs!

Thank you Brother love, so so so wise, your Asian blood is rich, and well valued with me... love you!

[Jon Roggie]

You nailed it. Just write.

Thank you Jon, you're right, hell away with those emotions, just write ;D you crack me up!!!

[Ken Simm.]

Rarely do we find work whereby we could quote every line in so many different contexts. And yet this is one such. Composed beautifully Elisa.

Mo chara, thank you.... your words mean a lot to me, coming from u...

[MOON]

Good write , Elisa indeed patience is the key , sometimes in the quiet times when words elude us , perhaps our emotions need a rest. Well expressed.

Moon darling, come soon by, thank you for this lovely review, dankie skattie :)

Plesier my vriend

[Kenneth The Poet]

And there are moments when the words want to get out. Nice one!

Thank you my friend... :)

[Inda]

Such a soothing piece. Great write my friend!

Thank you very much my dear friend. :)

... The poet should breathe the air of everything...And be happy even for silent moments... I love those lines Elisa! Indeed, sometimes we feel greedy for those perfect words, that perfect mood where the next resonant piece will come flowing out. I must admit, after every time I write a piece that becomes my newest favorite I begin to fret that I may never be able to create so well again... Here I am in that state right this moment... I must be patient with myself... Thanks lovely sis, for this elegant reminder...

Oh thank you so much my dear Sis, for this lovely review, I'm so happy to see you by! I know exactly what you mean with creating a piece after a good one you did... We think so alike! I'm back soon on here, when fully recovered, will mail you soon xx thanks love

[Horizon K.]

Haha... I haven't even posted the piece I am referring to yet... I hope you are doing well dear sis.
