Catalyst



unparalleled complexity,


beautifully formed.

 

the scribe knew

 

that the sonnet

 

would write itself,

 

and she was just

 

a catalyst,

 

for the unwritten words

 

that had always

 

escaped her pen.

 

 

and with calm realisation

 

knew destiny,

 

was out of her hands.

 

 

 

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    I like the concept of this poem. Sometimes poems do seem to write themselves. I am sure all creators can relate to this one.

    Once in a great while this is the way poems come to me. I'm just the conduit through which the words flow. Recently, though, my muse has been MIA. I love the background. May I use it for a future write?

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

    Wonderfuly amazing! You obviously have some natural talent. I give it two thumbs up! The use or wording captured my attention right from the beginning and held it well after I finished reading it.

    Beautiful.
    Sometimes it does seem like the pen is doing all the writing all on its own...
    I liked how the font is close to being perfectly lined up with the background as well.

    I love it when a plan comes together; when you are in the groove and the words just flow.


    A flea and a fly in a flue

    were trapped, so what could they do?

    Said the fly, let us flee!
    Let us fly! said the flea

    So they flew through a flaw in the flue!

    inspiration strikes the heart and mind as love stares at the pen, willing it along the paper a good piece.

    Very nicely structured and worded poem, Jan. I wish sonnets would flow from MY pen also! Great work.

    fantastic

    This is a great write that probably defines many poets..
    I know it gets very close to a good definition of how my poetry gets on paper....  I simply loved this one and enjoyed reading it..... good job
