Six

On a day that was
fraught
with anxiety and anger,
I sailed on
to the
other side.
The two pens that
blew up in my hand
foreshadowed the
prolific writing
streak to come.
Six poems today,
a personal best.
Bukowski would be
proud.
He might even
wonder
How I did it without
w****s
booze and
cigarettes.

It was easy.
I had bluebirds for
lunch, and listened
to Vivaldi.
I Just let the telephone
ring
ring
ring

Six in a day is a monumental achievement, Thomas. It illustrates your depth of concentration and dedication to the craft. Indeed, you are very lucky that you never had the distractions of a bevy of beauties or otherwise, I dare say, you wouldn’t have written anything! Congratulations on the poem and the successful outcome. I hope you are happy with the quality that was produced.

Sometimes all we need is to let go of the distractions and let the pen flow. I enjoyed the line about exploding pens. It’s a great visualization of what was to come.

[Thomas W Case]

By constantly writing with concentration on certain things you were able to write those six poems; creativity and inspiration come hand in hand. Now you can rest on the 7th.
Awesome!
