Blank Pages Before You Poem by Stephanie van Oudtshoorn

Blank Pages Before You

Rating: 4.5


It begins as a tinkling,
glowing feeling.
Swelling within you;
growing inside
and gathering to its own
life and body

Changing shape.
From feelings to ideas
and building its limbs
from words.

Finally it bursts forth.
Taking a life of its own
on the blank pages
before you.

This is the opposite to writer's block? I like your poetry, not being a great lover of rhyme.... your words flow well. Yuri

A Muse whispers and the soul's pricked-up, hand cupped ear strains hard to catch each syllable wafting over memory's embers scourging them to white heat. The dull words in the crucible melt, coalesce and run in a stream of quicksilver moonlight And Cat's eyes open wide on reflections Of what amusemeant?
