full head, blank page

So as I am thinking about what I want to do with this blog I am faced with a problem. I want to use this to put poems out for people to read and comment on which is all fine and well but I have hit a wall with my writing. It feels to me that I haven't written a new poem in a very long time, in actual fact it has been less then a month, but it still feels like an awfully long time considering in April I wrote one new poem everyday in honor of National Poetry Month. Part of me relaxes in thinking that it is just rest from writing those 30 new poems and being busier now with more full time work, but part of me is really frustrated by it as well. I love writing and never really have to force it so now when I want to write something new and nothing happens it is discouraging. I know there are ideas and thoughts inside my head but when I sit down at the paper it doesn't flow, hell somedays it won't even trickle. I guess I shouldn't let it get to me. It hasn't really been that long since I wrote my last new one so I shouldn't be adding stress to myself, it'll set itself write, pun fully intended.

So aside from that here is my last poem written, no one has seen this one yet so I figure its a good one for this post. As always comments are more then welcome!


Hand in Hand

music and poetry
can go hand in hand
both share
common grounds
of creativity
and wonderment
and both can command
the same attention
from their audiences
after all
aren't good songs
simply poetry written
to the music of the soul?
