TRANQUILITY'S END

All the words are bitter bile
abhorred as soon as written down
added to the discard pile
I rip another page and frown

How can I write when filled with rage
with words and thoughts aflame?
shaking pen will not engage
will I ever again write the same?

I would to write of peace and love
ideals which lay in disarray
turning red rimmed eyes above
"Bring back my calm to me!" I pray

Then I see yet one more attack
delivered "For our good."
will my muse never come back?
perhaps it never should

I found out I can not spend too much time in here and for my muse I step away and enjoy the other fine things in life. It is amazing how some hours or days will help you to get your muse back. If your muse is in an angry way just write it out for that helps you also. Just some thoughts and good write Stan. You are doing fine

Love to you

no apology needed. This went from frustration to paper to stream with no stops in between.S-3,l-1 I used old English intent for would to be defined as prefer . Probably won't change that. But all other ideas are under review lol. Thanks for eagle eye.............stan

I reckon I make enough mistakes when I Do proofread and that would be reason enough to never post without doing so...............stan

Some of the greatest art in the world is flawed. I think poets and even book authors tend to forget that. I quit writing for 2 years because of the never ending punctuation police. Now, hey - say what ya gotta say, I'm gonna do it my way. My muse came back when I let go of the conformity. I don't give a wit about the commas, semi this and semi that. Why question just make it a statement, NO. It is what it is. Mine. I could feel your frustration and if you ask me, the missteps in the write is like an abstract painting, it adds to the meaning of what you are trying to convey. It works well and I would not touch a single thing here. Nice write poet. (of course you have to take into consideration that I am a rebel and always have been - nuff said)

Always nice to have a new face come by. I regret to inform you that the typos in this were entirely unintentional lol. I have been known to mangle things on purpose, but not this time. But perhaps it is better I remain silent and let you continue thinking All my mistakes are intentional lmao. Oh well better to not mislead I guess. I may well use your idea on intentional typos as a booster in the future. When and if I do I will be a bit disappointed if they are not pointed out to me. Thank you for coming by and don't be a stranger............scribble

I knew they were intentional. I have read your other works and have been the receiver of your reviews. I am saying this particular piece is great that way. So if someone points it out you already know what your intentions were but they didn't. Rebel-ism is great s**t. lol!

Being a man of the south, I am very much a rebel myself. By the same reasoning, I am also fully aware of the price of reckless rebellion lol..................scribbler PS Anybody ever tell you that you bear a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson? lmao

the depth within this fine piece of writing. The journey your words took me on were of great benefit.

Namaste,
