my journal

First and foremost, I would like to thank an amazing woman
that without her advice and kind encouragement i would never
have opened this web page.

Let alone a journal in it :-)

You know who you are, so no names here, but I thank you.

I’ll keep updating this journal with things worth mentioning
And if i rave now and then please, bear with me.

I want to add poems I wrote. I want to write new ones.
but here it is, the problem. I have nothing to write.
writing usually comes easily to me. the words comes readily
as pilgrims do flock to holy places. but that doesn’t seem to work.
I can rid this as a dry period, which is probably what I will do. but then again…

I can always try one more time now can I?

    Hi, Guy! This is a cool Journal—exactly what you’re thinking. I’ve found that since we opened our Group, I haven’t been writing any poetry. I think it’s because there’s so much input into my brain that it hasn’t stopped to really process anything to distill it into words. I’m really sure that’s what it is for me. And it took at least 6 months before I wrote my first poem, and that to go with my own art because somebody wanted me to.
    If I take a half hour and sit in front of a pic I know touches me some way or other, it will come. Just a word or a phrase, then I have to “grow” it. It’s, for me, taking the time.
    Enjoy, Guy—enrich yourself. All my best- Dayonda

    You know what? I think you may be right there :)
    It’s some catch or a phrase in an image that can make
    a poem grow out of. images and words. images and words
    or, words and images. with a grain of a story possibly in them.
    and, thank you :

    I wondered how you were doing on this “writers’ cramp” thing.

    still quite cramped :-/
    It’s not a matter of having nothing to say, but more of a matter of where to begin and what is worthy of being said to begin with :0
    It will pass, as it always does.
