yeah, big deal, I know...
But I've had a dry spell, not writing a single thing for months, but then this image kept bouncing around my head the past few nights and wouldn't go away.
I kept having a vision of me sitting on the rocks on the shore of Lake Michigan reading out loud, with someone sitting next to me, her arm around my waist, listening to me, watching the waves, and just feeling peaceful...
I can't tell you how it feels to have an entire poem plop out onto the page.
It felt good to write again.
:woohoo:

1. when I go for periods of not writing |
|
I always have to remind myself that something's being gestated in my unconsious and will find it's way to page in its time. But you're right, it's always such a good feeling when it finally hits the paper - or computer screen.

2. Don't worry. I have an entire storyline in my head that's going nowhere. |

Oh doesn't it feel good though?
I've had some words running around in my head while I was out driving....
And there's no place to write them down!
But yesterday I was here at my computer, and then they came up again!
So I wrote them down.......
And they were pretty good too, if I do say so myself!
Good for you, sweetie!
:hug:

11. It's better than sex, better than a good Italian meal, better than sleep. |

It's just bettah.
I have NOT been writing poetry for some time. There's some poetry NOT being written around here. But "Spring is the mischief in me" and I'm just going to wait and see. :evilgrin:

that kind of ripped my heart out a little
this especially: "paying for my loneliness with a credit card and regret."
That was almost too intimate for me, or to me. I know what that feels like. Good work.
