A Blank Page Blues Comments

The Blank page blues is one that I can sing very well! Drives me crazy - then suddenly I kick into gear. I keep a folder titled 'Marinating' and like Alison said - I write a quick thought down. After awhile it marinates into something. I am added a poem today (for you) just for fun. 'Flightless Words'

I just talk to my lady, she will say something that sets my pen going crazy again, like a everyready i need recharging lol.. Andy 10

well composed. i know the feeling, just when you think you have got a great idea that needs to be explored, it disappearsbecause of some or the other intrusion., leaving you feel restless.

David, I have a little method that you might like to consider. Whenever an idea pops into my head (provided I'm at the computer of course) , or a phrase, or a word that feels like the prelude to something, I write it in 'word' and save it. Then when I'm 'stuck' I check out my words in 'word' and quite often, of one them will trigger a poem. Mostly, though, poems are there for the picking - you just have to be listening and noticing to the world around you. Thanks for sharing this. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Plenty of words here David, perhaps you've solved your problem. Try this take your notebook for a walk, sit quietly soak in the scene, meditate, then write first word that rises and then just carry on. Thinking now perhaps I should take my own advice. Keep writing my friend no matter what. Bob
