Here I hear the frustration and hopelessness of a situation. This is a poem of darkness. Nicely written, it conveys its feeling well.

Wow DW, that’ a neat encapsulation, eloquently capturing the struggles and perseverance of a writer. Highlighting the constant balance between ambition and self-doubt, and the determination to push through despite challenges. The poem serves as a beautiful reminder that the creative journey, with all its ups and downs, is worth pursuing. 👍🏻👍🏻

My comments on the poem “Writer’s cramp by Dan Williams
Today, typing on the keyboard takes its toll on the hands, the neck, the shoulders, the eyes. As it is easier, we spend a longer time at it. However, computers do have advantages : Backspace, Delete, Copy-Paste, Save… The other points you raise remain valid. Soman Ragavan. 27 Nov 2024

The continuous thoughts of a poet. These and others circulate through the mind each time a poem is written. Nicely expressed. Dan

Whilst I have a thing about clever, pretty tends to come out on top nine times out of eleven .. and is invariably enjoyed .. and the best cure is not to try and hold on too tight .. bravo sir Dan 😎👍

I love your last line, losing all 12 rounds, but yet standing a beautiful summation of the rest of the poem in metaphor

You tried staring into the sun when you should have been keeping your eye on where the next jab was coming from, forgetting your age and being blinded by huge numbers of dollar bills heading your way .. 🥊😎🥊💰💲💲👍

Never been in the army (apart from schoolboy cadets) But as you point out, it really wasn\'t the army.... I also have a woman in my past I could have treated better. Still nagging regrets sometimes.... not for what I missed out on, just for my behaviour.

I feel that. Over the weekend we met a former neighbour whose son, then 12, 6 years back now, is with the ADF. He always loved playing soldier and now he gets to be one. So she swipes her phone and pulls up a pic oh him in full camo gear gear, rifle in hand. My cousin served in the Gulf War for 2 tours and got knocked by a train in Spain, no kidding. That ended his military career. So I’m kinda getting the picture quite clearly from different viewpoints.

The folly of youth, the wisdom of age seems they are backwards. It would be better to be wise and once you and relax and fall in old age.

A sad tale of missed opportunity Dan. Nicely narrated. Regrets, many people have them. I do not share those experiences fortunately. Have a good Wednesday poet.

Sometimes I just feel lost and unsure .. on a good day I\'m certain I am and everything becomes even less clear .. I bet this was originally writ in draft form in adrenaline .. I know for a fact that not feeling in control or understanding something can give rise to anxiety .. and as a species we only fear the uncertain .. a nice reflection, or a bitter one .. dang, there I go again .. Neville 😎👍

This poem feels like a capturing of the turmoil and complexity of seeking understanding in a world that often defies simple explanations. It speaks to the human condition of grappling with uncertainty, the inadequacies of conventional wisdom, and the personal struggle to find meaning and purpose.

The title, which is brilliant by the way first caught my eye & then from the off I was hooked and played throughout .. Indeed, I found this to be deeper and more involved and likewise complex than I might first have imagined .. a true love poem .. or at the very least a blossoming one .. very tastefully executed Dan ..
