stria. . .

Contributed by elle on Tuesday, 15th September 2009 @ 09:56:18 PM in AEST
Topic: poets



my muse
is but a stria. . .
a mark upon the wall
hardly even noticed
a haunting
in the hall
& as my feelings falter
to designate my pen
I sense
the hidden witness
of a lonely scribe
within. . .

I find myself disagreeing with the first four lines, Ms Elle. :-) Your muse is but an inspiration to make me want to write always. Believe me, we notice. Everyone seems to have a vocabulary. It's what we do with it, and honey, you do it well!!!

As for lonliness..well, um, hug?

This conveys, to me, a feeling I get from time to time. The feeling that the words I write aren't really mine, and that I'm only a vessel for them. I end up feeling like an outside observer, a "hidden witness" such as you describe it.

Once again what you've written speaks to me on a level I can't quite define. I'm reminded of a little ditty I wrote long ago.

"I really don't feel like writing,
but I'm writing any way,
to try to make a something
of the nothing I have to say."

Yep, I like this one. It could be a nod toward writers block as suggested by another comment or maybe it's saying that nobody really listens to what we write afterall, not sure but I know it's well done.
