About Writing Poetry Poem by Bruce Bigelow
About Writing Poetry
Upon this cozy couch I sit.
It’s here the verses, I have writ
Flow forth from my creative grunting,
Some in humor, some affronting.
From whence the writings, I’m loath to say,
They’re just a lark, akin to play.
A pastime needing not a prod,
With some attempts being rather odd.
The spark for some, my risible striving,
Arrive out of the blue, from life, observing.
More sensitive themes come right from the heart,
When those true notions I seek to impart.
Who would fancy my meager efforts?
I’ll expect no applause from the experts!
Nor assume enchantment as they read,
Just reassurance, rather than impede.
So we’ll simply press on, my muse and me,
Occasionally launching out on a poetry spree.
Searching my brain for a pretense to write,
Trusting the results are not a literary blight.
Welcome to Poemhunter, Bruce. Judging from what I've read in this poem, I am in for a treat with your poetry. This is adorable - sort of how I feel about writing at times. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work. My warmest regards, CJ
Hi Bruce! This is such a wonderful poem! I love the lighthearted feel with this. I'll be watching for more from you. Sincerely, Mary
Welcome to poetry hunter bruce! ..A fine start with a fine poem....warm regards.10 from me xx
...creative grunting (I can relate!) ... risible striving (ohhh yeah, I hear you!) ... not a literary blight (no way, B.B.! ! !) ...... You've made my day. Maybe you'll relate, possibly, to my 'Help Me, Sleep' as it touches a bit on the 'process' (what a word when coupled with 'creativity'!) ... I'm new too, so welcome! ! ! And please keep writing.
Bruce~ I'm so happy Linda Treat *Scarlet* told me about you! :) This poem was wonderfully amusing. My favorite two stanzas are, 'So we’ll simply press on, my muse and me, Occasionally launching out on a poetry spree. Searching my brain for a pretense to write, Trusting the results are not a literary blight.' Very fun! ! ! I'm looking forward to reading more of your work! :) ~Courtney
