I lost a poem yesterday
It went out of my mind, it went away
I tried to grab it before it went
But then I realised it was never meant for me to write that day.
One day it may come back
I may be able to pen it before it leaves
I want to give it form I want my poems to breathe
The best poems are the ones that wake us up in the middle of the night
and then they take flight
not before they are finished!
hi daniel,
I have had those to, makes you crazy, they can be some of the best. I went out and got a mini tape recorder, seems to help at times. I am more comfortable with pen and paper.Oh the ones that wake you up...they are so loud! great poem thanks
Hey Daniel I think I may have seen your poem it floated past in the ether last night but I couldn't catch it. Maybe it's on it's way back to you
Paul

Thanks to paul for your comment I Hope I can catch it when it does come back.
And Clarissa I also like pen and paper better than sound recorders the poems that wake you up in the middle of the night are so loud they beg to be writtten!
