I sit with the page before me
And the words come tumbling out.
My mind, heart and soul
Are so full of them
That all else is forgotten
And I become lost,
Lost in the world of poetry,
Where time ceases to exist.
The words go on the page
From my never empty mind
Until I look up
And find that time has disappeared,
Disappeared onto the page,
With the words that I have written,
And needed to be there,
As these words need to be.

So true - I also get lost and lose all idea of time - when an idea comes I just have to get the bones down on paper and then fill it in the flesh with words.
Yes Michael, it is so easy to lose time with words.
A fine write Gold. Sometimes I give myself a time limit. Time to write a 'shortie' maybe. But not to rush it, as I can always come back to a partially-completed poem.
I try not to limit my time but it can be restricted sometimes depending on the situation at home.
I have so many unfinished pieces which i think stem from the occasions you describe.
Good old Dizzy, do you know the story of his bent trumpet?. Here is an interpretation of one of his pieces i think you may like:-

Thank you d a, those I tend to finish my pieces in tow goes, put the words on the page and then check them.
I have just looked up why Dizzy's trumpet was bent - serves him right for putting his trumpet down where people could fall on it.
As for the David Sanborn track, I had never heard of him but it is terrific and I will have to look into his work.
That is just precisely as it often is... well said & well read............ N
Thank you Neville.
pleasure......
Getting lost within your words and hearing Dizzy is my idea of delight dear Goldy
So glad that you enjoyed it Fay - is this how heaven will be?
Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Brian & I love DG : an exceptionally sweet HORN ! Thinkin & writing Poetry does take time and Brian taught me to jot ideas for a poem in a book or if i see a picture
that inspires me to try to turn it into a Poem. I am also inspired by the Poetry of Others : Hymns & (like Uncle Steve the BIBLE) All I need is more TIME to focus. Dont forget that (like Brian) I am still working 9 to 5 most days & some evenings !
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE :
