I am contemplating something, possibly retiring this blog. I haven’t made a final decision, but just been really on my mind lately, even though I still love writing. I never want to feel like I’m forcing creativity, I have mentioned that before. I don’t want to be excessively repetitive either.

Sing & Shine
Awaken the muses in your mind,
forget your blues,
the day’s difficulties,
for a time,
share with us a new thing,
let your art loose,
let your heart & passion sing
& shine

Empty
No poet wants to be a writer of shallow rhymes
or wants to waste theirs or their readers time
It doesn’t matter how great of a gift you have
if you don’t use it wise(ly)
If you squander what you’re given
then you end up like a
kerosene lamp that’s empty
Useless to anybody

Let It Out
Poetry will always be an obsession
Storytelling & expression
I’m not going to hold back
Honestly, who has time for that?
If it comes to mind I’m writing it down
I won’t wear chains, won’t be bound
Whatever’s laid on my heart
I’ve got to let it out

Successfully got my ISP switched over, glad to be back you all!
I hope life’s been treating you all well
I’d love to gather w/my readers
& sit for a spell, just chilling out
Listening to any stories you may
have to tell
As for me, I got a new book of poetry
for my anniversary, it’s a pretty neat read
You’d know the poet if I wrote his name
His work’s been around for ages
It can be pretty inspiring
Watching a fellow poet bleed their feelings out
onto reams & reams of pages

Sink or Swim
Poet working another late night
Writing his bars under a dim lamp light
He can’t slow down life won’t let him
he puts it all on the front line
it’s the moment of truth
he’s got to sink or swim

Inside
Whether you choose to write
in free verse all the time
or are more into rhyme
I just advise
Use your talents wisely
Nurture them so they can grow
Tell the stories you know
and express the soul
that’s inside

Dealing w/A Diss
It’s amazing what some poets
can do when they’re dissed
Instead of having a tantrum
& getting all pissed
when somebody talks bad
about them they just collect
those hits, writing about it
& use it to their benefit

Regrets
Write what you feel, what you see,
say what needs to be said,
before you go on to eternity
You don’t want to be
on your deathbed
with regrets, asking in your final Earthly hour:
“Could I have been better, was I too much of a coward?”

Had a poem earlier that lit up the comment
/discussion section of another site
I LOVE that kind of feedback
Getting people to think, discuss,
etc. is one of the best reasons to write (anything)
