And I scratch my thoughts
In search for words
Right some
Wrong more
Foolish
Nonsense
Nuts
And I do,
indeed I do
dee dee deeds...
I dig my intuition
Scrutinize my ego
Neglect my ignorance
In the hope...
If I trust my intelligence
My introspection
Will guarantee
A verse or two
Must forget about logics
Meditate about last night mares
Which will revolve
Around the fall
And how one gets out of it all
On the wheel of the idea
Eventually bringing me back here
Only to cite a quote,
‘A poem should not mean
But be’.
But be’.

this is a gorgeous write dulce...intense...the clawing the thoughts...and then you bring it round to a gentle landing...with a great bit of wisdom...
The writing process is indeed a search for that twinge of being or capturing that moment.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts... indeed I got through this cycle every so often.
a poem shoud Be...and yours certainly is dulce...loved it
A poem that should just "be"
Never thought of that before, but yours truly does, great piece, really dug in as I read.
a great write about the process of creating...magical
It should just " be" and yours is, very nicely done.
Beautifully done, perfected with the quote at the end. Loved the lead in image too ~ Rose
Im in love with your blog! Beautiful!
that was just perfect, spinning down down down to the truth. love it.
Ahhh, Dulce you're not only a gifted poet, but highly enlightened too.
I too, am usually more wrong than right. And try to keep my pesky ego scrutinized, tho it is a bit of a stubborn entity. :)
Super words!
xo
and so it is and so it is, dear lady - a poem should not mean, but be - just as yours is here! ;)
This is definitely a wonderful Verse or Two...Thanks!
Really good write, nice way you dealt with creating, especially love this stanza:
If I trust my intelligence
My introspection
Will guarantee
A verse or two
Definitely good intelligence and introspection for this great write. Really nice :-)
Circles in circles, spinning it all out for us. Love it, and the MacLeish quote is an old friend, too.
Love this a poem that just should be.
I agree with Jannie, so well said.
And so should we "be!" Does that make our lives poems? I hope so.
Sometimes the creation is a spelunking expedition into the darkest cave of our souls, other times it takes but a scratch of our hearts. Lovely and personally charming piece, Dulce.
I can definitely get into this one. It makes me feel a bit more sane after reading :)
I am in love with this poem.
Thanks so much, my dear friends. I am delighted with these sweet, so sweet comments.
:-)
"And I scratch my thoughts
In search for words" you had my heart right there!
a poem is a living breathing entity that should just "be" as should we all. Great message and write, dulce.
What a magnificent meditation on writing (or not!)! How many times have I felt this way? Too many to count.
Words just should be as a poem are we ~ They are whispered to us gently ~ In the stillness is when we hear them ~ Beautiful piece ♥ ஆ ~.^
A picture perfect piece of writing, akin to the music you have posted in your profile (Mozart).
You have received two dozen accolades--in comments, and I read them only to find there is nothing left to add.
You explain for Peeps like me, how poetry is not always intended to relate an event, or even feelings. It just is. And you come full circle (ti-la-sol-fa-mi-re) back to "Do"--first note on the scale. How sweet it is!
"Must forget about logics
Meditate about last night mares"
clever word play...
love this - absolutely - poetry should be...
And this poem is.
Brilliant! Love the poem! Thank you for visiting me in my absence and for commenting.
I am away in Ireland next week ... and look forward to catching up with your creations when I return.
Dear Dulce, how absolutly true. A poem must not mean, but be. That is how I feel about writing and my annoyance at times when I'm asked
why I wrote something.
I asked a question in my blog. Please visit me when you get a chance.
true. but if there is a meaning the reader can
glean - even better for me.
