The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Conversion confusion. This should be the 3rd post in this thread.

 

A head of cobwebs, grown old with age...?

That's hardly a thing to debate

You're age shouldn't be a concern or problem

You're only 28!

 

Still bursting with energy, constantly determined

And gentler still to boot

You're determination to post despite your dilemma

Shows you're bravery's still accute.

 

Writers block is a kind of disease...

One without a "cure"

But be confident with your writing, trust in your skills

And you'll conquer it, I'm sure.

 

If you feel unable to currently post

This is not that big a problem

The Pen is also a great place to read

(Or tax the initates and rob'em )

 

Whenever you feel like writing something

Just make sure to post it!

We always love reading over your works

And the Pen's a great place to host it.

 

On a final note, don't stress yourself

Writers block's not uncommon

Many posters, such as Zool and myself

Have faced the exact same problem.

 

P.S:

 

Wyvern apologizes to the members of the Pen

For the rhyming patterns and things

He realizes he's by no means a poet

Just an overgrown lizard with wings. ;p

She's taught a Wyvern to rhyme!

Her fame she'll never lose

Clearly now's the time

To recognize

Conversion confusion - This is the Post that starts the thread!

 

Any ideas of the name would be appreciated as I seem to be fresh out myself....

 

A slipstream of poetry enters my mind

Only to be forgotten with the next rhyme

How do I find that word or phrase

In this head of cobwebs grown old with age

 

Is it really age that does me in

Or my own inability to look within

The door in my mind is firmly locked

I think I heard it called writers-block

 

I need to find that key at once

Else be forgotten or thought a dunce

I have no clue of where to look

Having already tried my favorite book

 

Maybe I should post an ad

That seems to be the latest fad

Be it Shrubbery, Beasts or any other

The classifieds will have it cover to cover

Cheyenne,

 

I love this. So often we see nothing but metaphor in a poem -not that there is anything wrong with this- but seeing a rare take on telling a poem's topic in the form of wistful and a little sad introspection (plain speech) with metaphor entering only as accent, as one would use it in normal conversation... Very smooth, very classic style.

 

The last stanza works very well. At first it was jarringly different from the rest of the poem because of its nonsensical content, but I read it a second time, and it suddenly clicked: the only loose connection to the rest of the poem, the esoteric message in it, this was the stanza to show your muse was back! Awesome!

 

Peredhil & Wyvern,

 

Great responses in a very Dr. Seuss-esque narrative form. :>)

Wow, I had forgotten about this! It is so wonderful to look back and go "oh, Yeah!" that really was me! I miss you all so. I have been out of the writing game for over 3 years now...I am happy with the 2 published poems I have. I just miss the minds behind my muse...as it was you all, most especially BP, Wyvern and Ozy. You all are wonderul and always on the edge of the most amazing dreams I have!

 

Cheyenne,
