Musical Poetry

Listening to music while trying to write can, at times, be an impossible feat. But sometimes the music is so good it is hard to put it down in favor of the craft.

It is time

to close the door

and have another moment

of absolute solitude,

just me and the song

that plays the very words

I am trying so hard to come up with

on my own.

Who plays music

when writing poetry

anyway?

Maybe it is the words of the song that draw to your muse and bring out the words that flow into the paper.

I like this, simple. Light. nicely written.

..i do that sometimes,too...sometimes quite successful,
sometimes at wits end wanting to rip the chord out of the wall..
this is a nice short write though..

[Legion]

I do. Alot. :)

I love to listen to music...but not when I am writing. I get distracted when I should be focused.
There is something charming about this poem, the way it conveys our need to write, like our need to breathe, I suppose. Our moments of solitude often found late at night. I liked the incorporation of "just me and the song", how can you hear the music of the poem with Layla playing in the background.
This poem has a simplicity that I admire. It is not overstated, simple and elegant as is. I like it very much. Well done. I will be reading more of your work. I like your "voice"

Moments in music inspire me everyday. But then,
they are just part, of the music, of life.

Creating something meaningful is part of the harmony,
of humanity.

Loved This.
