Posted: 7/26/2006 1:31:33 PM | I have lines, fragments.
I have never been one to be at such a loss for words when it comes to my writing, yet this time, there is so much to express, I can't seem to put it all together....
Argh!

Writers' Block
by Bobby7
I can hear my heart strings hummin', I sense better times a comin',
I've found a way to crack my mental block!
I gassed up both of my Gennys, went out and bought a bunch of Bennies...
'Cause it could be, I'll be writing 'round the clock!
When I get stuck, or worse, if I evoke the writer's curse,
And the screen on my computer just stays blank
Then I sit, hour on hour,doin' all within my power,
To find those damned words hidin' in my tank.
So, I'll pass this on to you, and no matter what do,
Try it out! If you don't. then. please don't knock it...
'Stead of sittin' here all night, I simply shock my self to write...
I stick my finger in the handiest wall socket.
Though I anticipate some smirks, I can assure you that it works
For, I've tried it six or seven times before.I can fee
l my essence growin', and the words just start a flowin'
When I finally pick myself up off the floor. | |

Odds
by Bobby7
I had some coin, some time to kill, and I'd heard about this horse.
You guessed it! I was headed down to the local track, of course.
I read the odds, and did the math, then re-read the whole dang sheet.
If this nag comes through, likeI hope she will..Well, I'll be on easy street.
I walk up to the ticket cage, and boldly place my bet...
And dream about the future, and a new life, without debt.
I get a spot up in the stands, and settle down to wait.
'Til the handlers and the jockeys put the horses in the gate.
I hear, "They're Off"!., I spin around to see how my horse did.
She's leading at the quarter mile, Boy...I feel just like a kid!
She's still ahead and running well, as they pass the Clubhouse turn.
And my thoughts are running just as fast, 'bout the money I can burn.
As they near the wire, she picks up speed, and leaves them all behind.
She's won the race by seven lengths, and that money is all mine.
I go out on a spending spree, then find I'm in a jam.
I spent most all the money, but I'd forgotten Uncle Sam.
I've got hot wheels, a brand new house, a pool, and nice new yacht.
But, Uncle Sam has said he wants a slice of what I've bought.
My bank account is out of funds...Sam Must be paid, of course..
.But, where to get the money?
Wait!...I just heard about this horse...
So here I am, got twenty bucks; oh my...what should I do?
Well, I know just where I'm heading...And I bet that you know, too...

Posted: 7/27/2006 11:06:22 AM | Here are a few;
I turned over this morning, and saw my life
We are bonded, you and I. No longer to seperate people but two hearts bound by the same purpose. ( That isn't right some how)
I have seen enough bad to know what good is.
I will hold you when your weak, I trust you to catch me when I fall.
I found in you my best friend. I want a life with you and all the joy, heartache, laughter, love and tears that may come with it
You Make me Feel Safe, In A Whole Lot Of Ways. I Honestly Never Really Had A Total "I Am Safe" Feeling Before. Another Reason You that you amaze me.
There is more, but that is a bit of it. I don't know if it's a poem really, or a letter, or what.... just fragments I somehow need to get all together!

Posted: 7/27/2006 2:34:49 PM | My thoughts are that you have something here...I like the way you phrase your feelings..As to writing a poem, my dear, ....A poem will not be wrttien until its time..I know that may sound weird..But, I assure that it is true...
I have been where you are now, and it is very frustrating...You have much to say, and when it is all put together, it will make for some very interesting reading...
Please, do not despair...When it comes, it comes with such a rush, that it trancends all feelings...To me, it must be what a woman feels when she gives birth... I look at my creations like I looked at the babies that my wife presented me with...
No, I'm not nuts, I know the difference between my kids and my poems..But, it's the only comparison, I can think of...that has that much emotion involved..
Keep on keepin' on, love..and it will happen....
Be Well...Take care....Bob | |

Example...I love this line..." You make me feel safe, in so many ways."...If it was mine, it would start as follows...
(You make me feel safe, you make me feel needed..
You represent prophosies and promises heeded..)
(You make me feel safe, in so many ways,
You make me hear harps, a sweet angel plays..)
"You Make me Feel Safe, In A Whole Lot Of Ways."
That is a wicked line...I hope you can do something with it...Bob | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 10:11:29 AM | Thanks Bobby. I know you are right, that is how it always happens for me too, you are sitting there and BANG! LOL
I have been doing this long enough now that I should not get so frustrated. I write for other people as well, I almost find that easier, there is a distance in it. When it's personal, its harder... like when I wrote the donors of the heart that saved my fathers life, man that took forever, but when it came to me, I couldn't stop. Amazing....
I love that line too....
Thanks for the support!
