The Moving Finger
“The moving finger writes, and having writ,
moves on.”--Rubaiyat Of Omar Kayyham.
Oddly but honestly, I have never experienced
Writer’s Block; perhaps it is my overarching ego.
I used to write poetry only when something in my
life moved me which created an emotional state;
anger, disgust, joy, heartache or love.
It seems my imagination is stocked 24/7. I just
have never been blocked, except by editors,
teachers or my own blue-penciling. If anything,
my verbose scribbling constantly has to be
trimmed or shortened. Writing is one of the few
pleasures left to me at this point in my life.
Bears will hibernate
soon, like in a coma for months;
no one dies ‘til Spring.

Glenn, thank God for the artesian spring you have tapped into. You've been generous in sharing with us thirsty souls, and for that I thank you.
We should all be so lucky. Well done, Glenn.
I hear you brother. My mind seems to be always churning with words. Now, is what I write always top quality — well…
Like you, my limited mobility has not extended to my ability to put words to paper!
It's been a long time since my own block. How ironic that my current one is in my most favored form.
Looking forward to more of your creative outpouring! Well-done!
The mind that never stops churning, ruminating is a wonderful thing. Editing is a killer!
I have no doubt your imagination is stocked 24/7, Glenn...it is a gift.
It seems you have the same 'problem' as me, Glenn - muse firing on all cylinders, all of the time! I look forward to reading more :-)
what a gift to have a well stocked imagination and thank you for sharing it with us.
A creative mind, and ego, the two have no connection. You're gifted with creativity, not ego.
I envy your ability to tap the source when needed.
Glenn,
Writing is a gift that never hibernates with you. And it is a gift.
pax,

I have never seen anything stopping you either. For me it just starts by typing actually.
Yes, a busy mind always has something to write about. Thank goodness!
Wait, is that true? Bears don't die during hibernation?

It surely is a gift and you are putting it to good use for greater good.
The haiku!
Lovely construction, and sincere writing..
