~ 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

Firstly, I love the picture up there. The poem is plain truth. And I love it. A poet can nevet write if it's not the perfect season.

Ah love you're so so right... thank you for this lovely ray of words to me, I'll be soon back for you, when fully revovered, (little bit sick right now) hugssss

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Oh, I hope you restore to health very soon. Much love. :*

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. When we write. Need time to think things out. Can't rush our words or thoughts all the time. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
Coyote

Thank you my sweet friend, always dear, I'll be back for you when I'm fully better, and can focus on your brilliant stories, within your poetry :) can't wait :)

[Clockwork]

I really see where you're coming from with this one, and I like your message. I think your first two lines in the second stanza resonated with me and a thought I had earlier today. Sometimes we need to let the fields of our creativity become fallow to replenish the soil, then come and till the land later. Sometimes that is the only way to grow the poem as it should develop. Although, I do see the other side of the argument...we have a limited time on earth and must harvest all of the words we can muster while we can.

A thought provoking write, my friend. Good to read you again.

Thank you dear Christian, I agree on all you say, I wished (personally for me) with the returning disease I am having right now in high forms (bad periode)... unfortunately, I still could do all, but the dizzyness kills my brain, and logical thinking and being focused to review, and being productive, so this one, I wrote, out of frustrations, acceptence, pain, to not be here as often as I would love, and like, (for I need as you being productive) but learning to accept, and rehab from my high active brain at times... and to listen more to my health and body. But I so do understand where your double arguments come from ;) really... so all is in good heart my friend, and I'm so happy to see you again, be back as soon as I can for you... I'm still a huge fan of your writings! :)

[David Scott]

You live well what you pose in your write...
I think this hits well on solid truth.
Other truths prevail as well though. Sometimes poets are frantic with thought. They drink in life like a drug and poetry is their purging or even a favorite drug of choice...
Some poets live life well and full, others feel the darkness more...
I love your take on being a poet! I will try to remember this write when my mind is spinning me in circles.

Thank you very much my sweet friend, for this lovely review, and I'm truly sorry I'm not so much around, but I will in a few days (suffering again on my nasty disease a hell of a time right now, I never ever had a Writers Block until now lol, but as you see, I'm a poet as you discribe... I need to write always, and this was a lesson to myself, to take it easy ;-) I'm a big contradiction myself hehe... rehab-bing from first being a workaholic, to accept your disease, and on advice take it easy, isn't easy... but I'm getting there... :D I think I feel them both, but I am an optimist by nature. Muwah! my friend, much love to you, be back when I'm better and all recovered, but I had to thank you xx

[Jack...]

Your words this day speak truth my very sweet and poetic friend. A poet's eyes should always be open, even when they are closed. They should see, even when they are not looking.

So beautiful is your poem this day it makes me proud to be an attempting poet and very proud to be your friend.

Thank you so much my sweet friend, for all you are and do for me right now, can't wait for your poetry hugs..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are right, the words will come sooner or later...

in their own time...we just have to be patient...

so good to read you again, my friend.

Thank you so much jacob, you're a good friend, and I'm glad to see you back, I was myself not much online either, (health probs again)... but I will be back as soon as I can for you...

[DJ]

You're right, sometimes poet's need space to gather their thoughts, to rest and gain a new creative perspective or idea. Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece. Really enjoyed the music too. The lady Lana has a beautiful rusty vibrato. Thanks :)

Thank you very much Cairo, really appreciated you came here, I know you're not feeling well yourself, and are a fighter too in health, so this I truly appreciate. You're welcome, and as soon as I feel a bit better, I'll be back for you friend. Elisa

[DJ]

You're welcome Elisa. Wow, news travels fast on this site haha. Thank you for your kind words my friend, they mean a lot to me. It sounds like you are a fighter too, I hope not, but if you are then my thoughts are with you and I wish you all the very best of health, life and everything in between.

Thank you my friend, no, nobody did said anything, it's just I read everyone ;-) even when I'm silent... I do love to absorbe a write, before I do a quick review, I'm Dutch, need more time, to let it land, and give it my perfect feeling. I'm not complaining with what I have, for, yours is much worser... really, I have so much respect for you. Life is my all too... I try to enjoy it a 300% for I know I was almost not here anymore in 2012, that opened my eyes... Your words mean the world to me too, keep strong, and let's fight together lol better then all alone ;-) hugs

[DJ]

Ah dutch, that explains it :p haha! That is a beautiful way to review Elisa. I like your positivity, I try to be as positive as I can, although my poetry isn't. On here is the first time I have really talked about my illness. Being faced with death really changes you doesn't it. You start to appreciate every single moment. Thank you, I'd love to fight with you :) Hugs to you too my friend.

I'm so glad you speak it out though, it's important to do... feelings need to get out. And yes, it's changing your life completely. It makes you so much stronger, you appreciate every tiny little thing a thousand times more, and (in my case) I have difficulties, with complaining people... (my bad) that's the contradiction it gets. You've learned real peanuts, and not easy ones... Many hugs, and keep the head up ;-) always!! :)

Such wonderful words of wisdom, written beautifully by a poetess and friend I truly admire. It is your sweet gentle soul and loving spirit that inspires and teaches.

"The poet’s brain in time and rest
Shall express the words at best…"

Poetic silence is essential. We have spoken much in the past about this. We must enjoy life, not only see with our eyes, but feel with our heart, and savor every single moment. Continue to nurture yourself back to good health, know how much you are loved and missed here my dear friend, and keep writing......
much love to you always.

Sweet sister, and good friend, you know me inside and out, and I am grateful to you for this comment, so warm, and cracking me up really. Mailed you this morning, and I could hardly focus, but I'm back soon love, yes, we need to take life step by step, and embrace every tiny little beautiful thing around us... I shall listen to you, and come back when fully recovered... this time ;-) love you hun! xx mail you when you awake xxx

[Traci]

Your health is all that truly matters....the writing will always be here, love. Lots of love to you and yours. Will mssg you :)

[writing mojo]

this is true and I would welcome the impact of such poetic silence with a fall out shelter cover over blown in epic proportions ..great piece

Thank you my sweet friend, for always being there for me, on the right moments, with your uplifting words, they touch my heart... xxx

[writing mojo]

My pleasure
