Burning Need - (Sonnet) Poem by Valerie Dohren

a good poem about writing a poem. many times the words just won't come.

Writers block in sonnet lamented methinks the problem has been attended. Love the rhyme of the last 2 lines almost discordant in its beauty.

Nice one Val, sonnets are flourishing on PH.

I saw a bird upon a tree, And thought how nice, that it is free, Our inspiration is our tree Without it, we cannot be free. Know the feeling, as usual, so beautifully, and poetically expressed, you are a poetess with such finesse! ! !

As by wonderful coincidence, Val, just before I read this poem, I was looking at my list of favorites and found nocturne, one of your archived poems, which I enjoyed very very much. This current sonnet expresses so well the poet's feelings. Marvelous

Beautiful sonnet..I love reading sonnet, but I don't know to write.... Yes, its the burning need to write, Keeps our head spinning to the height. And a lovely poem is on our way to write. Loved reading it.

Your muse is only napping, but even then you got a fine poem. I can't find that word-unsate Still worth a 10

I agree wholeheartedly with this one. There are times I must say that we may become at a lost for words when it comes to writing poetry. When that happens we must regroup. The majority of the times for me I have to be inspired to write. There maybe thousands of subject to write from the question is are they all suitable subjects for the Poet. There will always be a burning need. That is a good thing. A great write.

keep rocking.........

That sums up my own experience.
