When
How many words are left in me
How long until I’m all I can be
When will the rhyme run out
When will the course have run its route
When will words no longer come to mind
When will my heart be blind
I think all people worry about this whether you write novels, flash fiction or poetry, or if you run a graphic designer business or blog.

I agree with Melody. Far more often my mind is stuffed with things I want to write –HAVE TO write before I die. Your graphic is too true to my life, too. There are no sections for Dust, Wash Walls, Clean oven, Declutter or Cook.

You are right Christine, there are no dusting spots on that brain! Glad I’m not the only one!

I doubt I’ll ever run out of words–not bragging, not saying they’re all prize-worthy or memorable–I just have an eternal fountain inside me. It gives me pleasure to write, even if only a handful of people show up to read. And I agree with what Melody told you–you’ve inspired and taught me on more than a few occasions. God bless you, dear heart.

I’ve had times where I wondered if more words would come – and they always do, if I wait long enough! 🙂

I feel bad sometimes because I often go a month without writing a new poem. I wish I could write one everyday. I did that during April last year, and it was so hard. Sometimes I think I should give up because I’m not good enough, but then an awesome line will roll through my head… And I pick up a pen…

Don’t you dare ever think you’re not good enough! And – I think you should take off the line on your blog that says you are ‘trying to be a poet’ or something like that – because if you write poetry, you ARE a poet! Never short-change yourself, Symanntha. You ARE a POET, whether you write one poem a month or 50. A poet is one who writes poetry – and does this not include you? Embrace who you are. Celebrate! Allow yourself the permission to name your gift and claim it as a birth-right! And then, pick up that pen…

Thank you Melody. I do need to claim it. It is the gift I was given. Thank you.
