About Writing...




Words come

All jumbled...


Thoughts getting

To the soul

Like whirlwinds...


They seem kind of loose

All I need is choose


Until they make sense

To a certain extent


Then...


Some might understand

Hold my hand


Others

Just pass


A poem’s

Like that plant

I sow and water


Among the many seeds

Only one succeeds...

Brian Miller said...

Choosing the right word.. prose has never been so challenging but nothing short of its excitement nevertheless.

Perfectly said!!!Sometimes I wonder as I write if I myself know where it is leading.

I guess it's what makes writing fun.The unexpectedness,the frustrations,the triumphs.But I guess in the end it is about self-fulfillment.

Thanks for voicing our thoughts.Great piece!!!

I struggled to write today...the words wouldn't come...your poem says what I feel..sometimes it clicks perfectly...other times.....I too love that pic. ☺

Anthony Duce said...

You sort the jumbled words so well, every word seems to make more sense the way you use them.

clean and crazy said...

yours seem to always succeed. not just one or two, that is why we keep coming back in full bloom for more of your wonderful jumble of words

Lu Ann said...

how odd, my visual after those last few lines...

I picture procreation, and the sperm swimming along trying to make it...

sigh.

lovely write.

steveroni said...

Of the many seeds, one does succeed, but usually water and fertilizer (nurturing) helps!

And ONE seed can PROceed to become many plants, many fruits. All the more to give back what was given...

Well put.

Excellent job, dear Dulce. I, too, feel that's how poems see the light of day and grow in our imagination.

" Like that plant I sow and water"
Indeed! sometimes we cast the seed
sometimes we are slightly more focused-
Thanks !

Isha Ethera said...

I always know this.
Some might understand..
That's all there is.
Like a code..
Few can follow.

But here I am!

Bubba said...

Sometimes the little buggers fight all the way, no matter how hard we try to nurture them. Nice 55!

Anonymous said...

Excellent poem. It grew nicely.

G-Man said...

Dulce....
All the poems in the world have already been written.
You simply rearrange them so that us peons can understand them..
Loved your 55 My Dear..
Thank You for playing today, and have a Kick Ass Week-End....G

PattiKen said...

You've gotten that one right. We plant so many seeds that never make it, but the one that grows is completely worth it.

Very nice, Dulce.

Tammie Lee said...

wonderful piece, I can so relate to this. Once we choose, make a choice peace can rise.

TALON said...

I love the plant and seed analogy - it's just the way it is...and watching the ones that take root and grow is so amazing.

I loved this, Dulce!

Dulce
The thought comes riding a fifty foot wave and crashes upon the shore in a million sparkles.
if only we could write the wave.
I'm still waiting for one of mine to succeed. But I like digging through the sparkles!

You got it, that's writing. Words, words, words, constantly and then something forms.

Wysteria said...

Great Poem, it hit right where the pen hits the paper. A single word, can inspire a poem.

Very nice...

Scott M. Frey said...

Olivia said...

This one succeeds for sure.. :)

joanna said...

Dulce:

Yes thoughts come flowing through and some float to the shore, or get all tangled up in the net of our jangled minds, till we release some and hold onto the best seeds of thought,,, very beautiful what seeds we captured and planted for us to read. Such a lovely garden in your mind.

Have a lovely week end, dear one,
you are a poet whose poems are planted in my heart, sweet thoughts.

Cheers,
joanny

You have a gift with finding the right words and when I visit here I feel like I walk with you and hold your hand a while.
I do hope you don't mind.
