Thread: Struggling to Write

I've been struggling to write
exactly what I feel;
the Muse works like that:
She doesn't let me go
until I struggle and
wrench out my heart
wringing the blood
all over the page
scratching the thick, red ink
into words and phrases
that truly mean something
because of the struggle.

I like this Robert. Truly heartfelt and who hasn't been right there with you?

Funny, Robert, I was recently thinking about writing a poem such as yours. It's something we all go through!

I like this very much. It gets across the "struggle" very deeply and darkly.

Thanks for the read. Laurie

Good piece of writing Robert. It is expressing the way that I am feeling at the very moment... struggling to put two words together to form a sentence.

This was nice. I think everyone here knows the feeling.
