~ 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

You are right, sometimes when we try to force something it does not work. It is better to walk away, relax and it is amazing how our muse can once again whisper in our ear. She really doesn't like to be ignored but she doesn't like forced labor either. You have given us all wonderful advice with your stunning style.

Thank you so much my dear friend, hope all is well at your side of the world. I've been thinking so much about you lately. Hope you find your strength back too, when time is right, and I can't thank you enough for being here constantely for me, it means so much... (sick right now) a long issued-thingy, but as soon as I'm energic enough, or at least at 75% I'll be back for you dear. For you are a great inspiration to me.

[icelandicblue]

I hope that you feel better soon, I am so sorry you are not feeling well. You are a beautiful soul Elisa. Take care of yourself.

Thank you sweet friend, really, it means so much. Will mail you soon ;-) x

[Pryde Foltz]

Very good advice, indeed. Loved the little rhyme at the end.

Thank you so much sweetheart. I'm dissapointed in myself, I"m sick right now, and can't return the favor, got your wonderful mail, and will be back at you. :) That's what this poem was about, I have to learn let go... and accept I'm not in full power right now, much love. x

[Pryde Foltz]

You needn't apologize. Always take care of your health first. Lots of love.

Thank you for the trust, and extra time sweet friend, means the world to me... Lots of love too...

[Pryde Foltz]

A pleasure

[Renée]

I think this is the loveliest poem I have read on the subject of Writers block..
So true patience..enjoy life..it will always return.. ( :
I think of writers block as the brain taking a holiday to refresh itself..

Thank you my sweet Renée, how good to see you by luv, hope all is well with you, and take enough holiday's for the brain ok? : ) be back also soon for you xx

How true: ' A poet should breathe, the air of everything, ~ And be happy even with silent moments.. '

However, surely there are times when thinking is far more important than writing, times when we need analyse our reasons for everything, and, around all that is Life, with a gigantic capital L.

Don't think anything can stop a word-lover from writing as such, but, there are times when thoughts and accompanying emotions need some kind of shape; once found watch out - those words won't be stopped when they've regained their passion. What happens next is magic. Perhaps. (You)

You're so right my sweets, you always see beyond the things, with your painters eye, and high empathic feelers... :) loved this review, for you know me pretty well, inside and out ;-) xx be back for you when I'm feeling better love x thank you so much!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think the patience we allow ourselves truly comes back to us in kind!

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

Besides, I need the extra time to do my manicure and pedicure!! But seriously, I love having the time to nurture myself and my soul. I feel it's the best thing I can do for my health, and for those who love me!

...reading you is good for me, too!

Yes, so true my dearest, :) you and me as the past did prove, we took wisely our breaks, when needed. The ink shall always pump like black blood through our veins, even if we ( forget to think about it ) and truly enjoying life, the inspiration shall always knock our frontdoor... you're the best love, I'm sick right now, (for that so silent) but as soon as fully recovered, I'm all yours can't wait to review your few latest!! (((HUGS))) xx

[Everett DeValle]

Agree, writers and poets need to unplug, I do...Elisa, another thought provoking write, to simply stop and smell the roses. However, this is a poetry is a part of my life...meeting like minded people, like yourself, makes this whole experience worthwhile...you are important in my life. Great write, made me reflect.

My sweet friend, thank you for this beautiful comment on my page. You're important to me too, so so much! I treasure true friends, deeply in my heart. I'm happy you could relate a bit with this one... :) take much care, and sleep well for you xx

[Everett DeValle]

Awww, shoots...I enjoy reading your poetry, from the first time I read you...I adore you and everything about your poetic being. :)

Sleep well too, Elisa....Be well. :)

I feel so humbled by your lovely words, and it frustrates me I still can't return the love... but I will :) sleep so well Ev! till I'm there to give you my reviews sweet friend... :)

[Everett DeValle]

You don't have too...your kindness speaks volumes, to me...you always give me Love, with your kind gestures....it's the little things in life I enjoy and remember. ;)

[Frieda P]

The poet's brain, truly a horse of a different color...I'm sure our thought patterns are unique from other's that don't think in metaphors, stanzas and form. Breathing is essential....lovely thoughts here Elisa, as always your poetry says so much my sweet friend. x

Goodmorning from Europe love, thank you so much for this beautiful hello in my morning, :) you always make me smile sweetie! x be back as soon as I can for you... (read you always)

This is one of my favorite poems written by you ,Elisa. The reason why is because I can relate so much to this feeling, and as writers, we all want to express ourselves as quickly as we can, but sometimes it is best to take your time and let your muse take the wheel. My favorite line was :

"The poet’s brain in time and rest
Shall express the words at best…" Handsome job indeed :)))

Cord

Thank you my sweet friend... for finding it so "handsome ;-)" lol... :))) and that you can relate... you always make me happy. Be back soon for your latest... Eli :)

[Blissful Sin]

[Poetic Justice]

You wrote my life. I have lost it!! Patience is indeed a virtue but even poetry needs some stimulation!!
I am not seeing through those eyes much lately :( lovely work xx

Thank you so much dear, yes you are right, it needs also some stimulation, I'm dealing with my first Writers block in all those years lol.... I will be back for your inspirational writings, maybe you heal me haha... ;-) many thanks xxx
