Re: National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!

Day 15 My brain is dead today, drained... perhaps due to recent memorial service stuff plus a travel day.  Anyway, here's a take on creativity in writing, written almost 6 years ago, as I was starting to write and compose..........   On the Creative Process  I hear and/or feel rhythms and/or rhymes ...

Re: National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!

Everyone posting poems on this site is exceptional.  The depth of feeling and the ability to creatively express leaves me in awe.  I'm learning so much.  I'd loved to get to know you all.  Gyppo most especially. Gyppo?  You I would like share a beer with, to talk into the wee hours, to debate life's...
