Thats beautiful and how it really happens. That press to write usually comes over you and those are the best writings because they flow so well not to mention they are more vivid and real.<br /><br />I write poetry and it's usually best to write when I am pressed to write or feel the urgency to inspire or release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-43119405582794207902010-06-03T12:38:35.518-04:002010-06-03T12:38:35.518-04:00Hi Carla, I do love poetry and have actually publi...Hi Carla, I do love poetry and have actually published a book. I find a lot of poetry stirring within me the more I read the Word. I don't remember actually sitting down to just write a poem on a certain topic, something from a devotion or a time of meditating usually forces me to go write.<br /><br />blessings,<br />vickieVickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990438534676100647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-39739730383011492572010-06-03T12:31:33.843-04:002010-06-03T12:31:33.843-04:00I am only inspired to write poetry during intense ...I am only inspired to write poetry during intense emotional responses to things, good or bad. There is some truth in this quote. To me, a lot of poetry does have a melancholy tune to it. But a beautiful one, more often than not.<br />And like you, I never sit down to write a poem. A poem blindsides me and I have no choice but to sit and write.<br /><br />Happy Thursday,<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-7308044690091322952010-06-02T15:30:34.619-04:002010-06-02T15:30:34.619-04:00Hi Carla -

Of course, most of it is awful. <br /><br />Things must be pretty stable around here because the urge to wax poetic hasn't hit in quite a while. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.
