My Child

Over and under I go
Back and forth the Willow branches blow
Sunlight dancing upon my face
Memory of my borrowed grace
Barefoot I weave through the tall blades
Eyes closed, the noise now fades

I like what you did with this poem. You are Pisces, so you are a poet! Are you a musician as well?

Thank you. Woodwind, and strings. Been years though.  Also love to draw and paint.  Double Pisces  

Sounds like you were firing on both Pisces with that poem. I like your other stuff as well. Do you feel you are more creative with your poetry right now- not even referencing anything astrological? I like what I wrote about 13 years ago best, but am not very thrilled with what a I am writing now- although I don't know how much talent I have had as a poet ever. I really consider myself an excellent mediocre pop lyricist, or even fake band name inventor. Although I haven't written any songs in two years. Don't have a guitar and have to test the patience of the the staff and customers at the local guitar store for the moment...ah they deserve to be exposed to great Art...lol....

To get back to poetry- who are some of your favorite poets?

As to if I think that I am writing my best stuff now.  I sure hope not. lol.  Comes in spurts, when I am more atune to tap in.  Best for me with a full charging prior as like with the art, I get myself all drained.  But it sounds like we both share that writer's block. There are years where I don't write.  But when I do it pours out all at once...then could go awhile with nothing.   As to my favorite poets, oh man, not before my full dose of coffee!!!  I really don't read poems that much.  For me it is the lyrics of musicians that I find to be poetic.  There are so many good ones out there.   You can feel how much heart and soul they put in...very moving.   That is funny what you said about testing the patience of the people at the music store.  In time hopefully you will have your guitar. lol, that is so funny. But isn't that one of the musician's haunts? The music store?  Long ago I had to pawn my instruments.  One day I will be able to buy mine again, for now I put the extra funds into my children.  It is their turn to shine, I had my moment. And what a blast it was.  Maybe you just need to find your inspiration.  What helps get the flow going?  Then maybe you will be able to write some more lyrics. As to the fake band name inventor, I have seen this on the web.  I guess there are people who actually make a living naming bands.  Who'd a thought?
