To Write Or Not To Write…? Poem by Seema Aarella

To Write Or Not To Write…?

Rating: 5.0


Another flicker of thought
An undying want.
Desires emerge,
And begin to haunt.

I try to write
And put it straight
But then I fail
To match the scale.

I try to unwrap
And openly narrate
Will it be crap?
Will it raise a debate?

A notion out of time
I struggle to be keen
Line by line in rhyme
But not genuine.

Another desire killed
As I fail to express,
My paper is unfilled
Mind is under stress.

ideas thoughts can be will-o'-the-wisp fleeting, questions arise do we strive to capture contain shape them in mind phrases, or do we let thoughts ideas in flights of fantasy run free, perhaps to capture contain frame theme in another time place?

Sometimes it can be frustrating, when we want so much to share a thought of real value, and yet can't quite find the words to do it justice. Your poem does capture do well to portray this dilemma. Thank you.
