Talk to The Pen

Dripping watercolor

                         poetry, 

flows so easily

'spoken word',

                                                 bogged down in muck

light and airy 

spun like webs of silk

pen the heart til'

its torments coo

_ _ _

angry fears wrap around the tongue

obliterated

vocal loud thumps of heart

boom boom pow silenced to tears

_ _ _

hang to the lucidity

 of a pen uninfluenced

'much ado' about something,

 or nothing

melt into the crevices of 

                 wood and fire

neologistic motives

          for punctuation clear

say a word, 

blow a kiss, 

it's one in the same

it can't be forced/

 the muse is fickle

~the sanctuary~

 but a dream of light

Now I lay me down to sleep

'my mind's illusions drift into slumber'

it's all in the twist of a wrist,

 a blind of an eye

bleed it's contents dry

from vapors

 come clues and puns

always treasured.

 never quite done

'there ain't no cure for love'

Definitivamente, 

                                                 finalmente, poetry!

You are a word-woman. The poem is amazing. I had to read for the journey into thoughts and good words.
"Now I lay me down to sleep
'my mind's illusions drift into slumber'
it's all in the twist of a wrist,
a blind of an eye"
Thank you for the excellent poem.

Wow, coming from the word-master I am truly humbled Coyote.

[Tarry Franck]

I'm one of those - can write my feelings better than speaking them. Thank you for sharing and Coyote was write "you are a woman-woman" Great job lady!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yes it is so much easier to get what is inside, the pain and torment, the fears and even the love, out when it is placed onto paper. I love this Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Carolann, I'm thrilled you love it. ;-)

Welcome :)

I talk to my pen but it just won't listen to me, and wants to be such a "drip" at times, and then it lives in "spurts", and "blows its top", and what ends up as the finished product is nothing like I intended to write!! Dang thing, goes and changes color on me too!! The nerve of our poetic pens....lol
Great poem my friend! 'Tis divine!!

[Frieda P]

Are you sure you're talking about your pen Shelia? lol

[Sheila Kline]

Well, "that" won't mind me either.........lol

[Frieda P]

hahaaha, you're so bad, bad, bad, bad......... lol

[InsanityWriter]

Whenever I try explaining things through speaking, it's bad. But when I'm simply writing, it's so much easier! I dunno what it is. ;) Great poem! :D

[Frieda P]

I assume that's why we're all poets Skittles. Thanks ;-)

[Butch Decatoria]

Brilliant. Jazz is soft in back, music of your written word -- a beautiful soundtrack. Great stuff I love - it.

[Frieda P]

Sweet review, thanks so much!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is my favorite from you...and yes, the sentiment is so much easier to express with the pen, than verbally...seems the tongue will get tied, but the pen will loosen its bonds and free the words.

[Frieda P]

thanks jacob, geez so much easier, maybe we need pens with speakers built in, that's a thought....

[jacob erin-cilberto]

what a great idea...you could patent that idea.

[Frieda P]

[Annabelle Lee]

[Frieda P]

Thanks Annabelle, 'uneven but steady' ha sounds like me sorta, except for the steady part. ;-P

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

No,there is no remedy for love nor for our love of writing. Who wants one anyway? I certainly don't. Thank you for this write.

[Frieda P]

Thank you for your review kind lady.

[C.C. Marx]

Fantastico! Though I must say, lately me and my pen have been butting heads, neither can agree on what to write

[Frieda P]

I found when you let the pen be boss, there are no palimony payments.

[C.C. Marx]

Words of wisdom right there, I would tweet that but alas I hate twitter and am protesting :P

[Frieda P]

hahaha you've got too many problems hon, take a fookin vacation,
will ya?! ;-P

[C.C. Marx]
