Is my face red...
Last week I posted a link to a poem that kept drawing me back to it, Letters to My Wife by a gentleman who goes by the name of metta5chak (his actual name is Dave). I commented...the man found my forum and (oh my god) read my scrawlings. Someone of HIS ilk?? I wanted to crawl under the desk and groan.
His is the first work I've read in quite a while that actually stirred me, made me want to pick up a pen and write like I used to - no matter how badly. He is concise, powerful, gifted beyond what most people could hope for, IMHO. He left a comment to a poem I wrote years ago, was quite complimentary. And I still want to crawl under the desk and groan.
Yet...the stirring is still there.
At the very least, I'm experiencing serious hero-worship for a 78-year-old poet. And I told him so. ;-)

Then brush off the cobwebs and feel inspired. Blogs aren't always where people focus on writing their personal best pieces, or, I sure don't, so don't worry. You sound great, yet, add inspiration to that? Please share that with us, too:)

Writing is an art-as much as oil painting, water colors or sculpture. If you have the inspiration(the need) to create that art, then just go do it. If you're unsure, do it in pencil, they make Big erasers for refining your efforts! Just Do It! And enjoy.
