007: The Poem Poem by Colin Johnston

I do agree with this piece of yours, Colin..this is lovely..thanks for sharing hugs, Meggie

I am glad you chose to give this one, life!

Yes, a beautiful poem and an interesting one at that. Yes, a situation every poet has to go through once in a while. Love...................................................Risha

Words that come in the night are always to be welcomed. You are a true poet. Write on, Colin. As always, Sandra

I've had snatches of songs come to me in the night and rescued bits, but never poetry. You've got a poet's soul Colin. And it's a very good poem! jim

I can relate to this one. If we do not get up and write it down it is lost forever. Sometimes thoughts disturb my sleep.

I have had the same experience....interesting. Thank you for speaking of it....the mind's eye sees alot. Cheers!

Colin! I think this happens to most of the poets. My wife compares it with conceiving a baby. Whn i finished the job somewhere at midnight, she looks at me we halfclosed eyes and asks'where is the baby' or 'easy labour'...Ha! sometimes we are found funny by others. I felt so good reading this poem.

This does happen (the first part: awakening and a poem is there) and it is a delightful thought. A worthwhile thought letting it be free, but I can't quite believe that. A poet letting a poem fly away. I guess you are on a higher plane than I am.

Colin, you do do lovely works. keep on....
