Gentle persuasion

hzugman

Poems can be coaxed but they can't be forced

Just like you can't push molasses

Don't remember where I learned that, of course

But its quite clear even through my slightly smudged glasses

  • Cheeky Missy

    Hahaha, you remind me of the other night last week when I and two other poetesses were hanging out, tis very true, which I wish more artists understood. Inspiration is akin to a horse: you can try to force it to little or no avail; or you can give the horse his head and see where he takes you. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a fun poignancy.
