Writing

Tony36

Taking pen to paper 

Or

Fingers to keyboard 

I start

 

One word

Two 

Three

Soon they start pouring out of me

 

First a creek

A stream

A river

An ocean of words

 File onto the page

 

Pouring faster and faster

Word after word

Line after line

 

Until finally 

There is nothing left in me

      Ah the muse! Beautifully divine when the muse calls and the words flow. Excellent write!

        Ha, been there, done that and lost count of the number of Tee shirts I've worn out in the process ..

        • Tony36

            I declare! The mounting sense which in conclusion finds itself spent is too good. Simplicity triumphs in this winsomely rendered little number whose poignancy is delightfully lively yet subtle. Thank you for sharing.

              Thank you and you're welcome

                Likewise.

                Some days the dam bursts, others the well seems empty. Oh how the muse seems to flit from soul to soul, turning their attention in such a flippant manner. I am jealous Tony! Great expression about being inspired!

                  Thank you

                  That is one way to do it Tony. With me usually the dam breaks and after the flood I have to clean up the mess redam the river and the flow slows down. Love your description of the process. Nicely done my friend

                  • Tony36

                    Thank you

                  • Dan Williams

                    • Tony36
