I read a wonderful poet yesterday and I tried to post a comment on her site and my computer would not let me! I can’t fucking believe how stupid my computer can be at times, this wasn’t the first. I know it wasn’t her blog, it is my computer. I had a poem I was warping in my mind, I felt the muse dancing along my fingertips. For the first time in a while muse was in a good mood and wanted to write about feeling humbled. I tried to reply to her poem and…NO GO! Ok, I’ll try another way…NO GO! After an hour and a half of this I got fed up and saved my comment on word, closed my computer, and left. No poem written; no positive expression. Oh well, I have a long writing life left to me; muse and I didn’t dance yesterday but we will again. We will!
Here is the comment maybe Eve could forward it to her @ http://nevine-sultan.blogspot.com/2011/10/superlative.html This was in response to her poem Superlative.
I am continually amazed and so grateful that my friend got me into this blogosphere. The things I have found have changed the way I believe about things; changed my perceptions of poetry, and written expression! Your poetry is amazing, I am humbled.
Sometimes I wonder if things are not meant to be written and photos not meant to be taken. I have spent hours on specific poems, or photos, only to have technology swallow them whole. I imagine them as babies, not ready to be born. Premies who would've had underdeveloped lungs. And so I wait...

ReplyDeleteI'm OCD and obsessively save, copy/paste things I'm writing so it doesn't happen often.
