[ A brainstorm, a lightning bolt ]

A brainstorm, a lightning bolt
the ideas begin to flow
a strong surge and creative jolt
blends passions with the words I know

Pen in hand, words are designed
the ink glides across the page
brings life to line after line
most important tool at this stage

Lines in rows, deep thoughts expressed
Patterns of feelings and dreams
Treasured emotions aren't suppressed
They're drawn out in numerous themes

    Great lines, awesome subject, but it sounds and reads too mechanical, without any emotion.

    The essence of writing is right here captured in well articulated prose. Well structured and fluent rhyme and meter. Great work.

    Very nice way to describe the feeling of inspiration. When a muse alights on your shoulder it's like finally awakening from a long dream. I particularly liked lines 7 & 8. Good job.

    still don't get this one?

    A rapturous vision,
    An epiphany,
    Makes me realise,
    How powerful words can be.

    A blank sheet, new words to find,
    Fear, hate, love or rage?
    Bring life to each and every line,
    Discover truth in every page.

    Lines in rows, deep thoughts expressed,
    Patterns of feelings and dreams,
    Memories borne of times depressed,
    Diluted silently in screams.

          one warning?

          I like all Anya's stuff. I thought you were asking "is english your first language" to her, which offended me. Anya is far better than many on here.

    I THINK YOU CAN CANTRAST THE FEELING.
    IN THE FIRST HALF YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT HOW A THUNDER STORM LIKE BOLT OF LIGHTENING CREATES A POEM
    AND IN THE NEXT HALF YOU CAN HOW SUBTLE SIMPLE IDEAS COME TO YOU WHEN YOU CLOSE TO SAY NATURE.
    THATS MY OPINION, BUT WHAT YOU WROTE IS GOOD

    not bad

    Seems more of a statement of obvious fact, you paint a strong picture, but that last line is definatly your hook, this poem is a skeleton that needs more flesh, you told me what i know, now fill it in with what i don't. 2nd line has double plural, which i'm not fond of.

    Very existential theme. Thematically it reminds me of some stuff I have, though stylistically we're worlds apart. All in all, a great description of the creative process.

    Hello Anya

    This is a very nice poem and expresses your thoughts beautifully - Line 6 - perhaps the word "ink" could be replaced - the rhyme and flow are great - keep on keeping on young lady - Bless God - Joe ----------------- hugs

    hmm interesting, it's odd how this is a description of a description really, a poem in the poem, really if you think about it it's a never ending thought, like a mirror in a mirror, the act of writing about the poem you're writing, i do like the kind of time capture here, as far as it goes, it was bland, it flowed nicely and the rhyme was very well done, very subtle, but it was boring to read, and didnt kick up too much emotion either. still other than that it's kind of a neat mind trip to examine, and i always appreciate that.
