Poets prospect

The poet's prospect

a brow furrowed from the landscape

the incision, long

a wound so deep

cut from granite rock

flowing; east to west

trapped, from time to time

in a backwater, stagnant

an abyss

'til the ebb and flow

of meandering thought

throws creative light,

and marks the path

that leads;

often  to defeat

but also ...

from time to time

glory.

this is pure inventive thinking process and concentration! ebb and flow of meandering thought... yes! (definitely INTPisms!)... the imagery put to logical, creative use and direction... i love how you weave to show the contrasts and arrive at the perfect epiphany. your mind, so brilliant.

I have been there many times...in the abyss...
There will not be defeat, I'm sure of it...nothing will stop the flow, it's just stagnant for a moment...pausing...
Nicely done!

And like I always say...the best way to combat writers block...is to write about writers block!

[Pól]

Not really about wb- just a metaphor, Muse
