Dancing on Paper
Eyes closed, my mind wanders
I summon my muse
who takes me through fields
of gold in late summer
Thoughts come quickly,
conjuring the words I need
they spill easily from my mind
My pen pirouettes
across the paper
and my poem is born

Thanks Lisa! I’m happy you liked it ☺️
You’re most welcome, m’dear 🙂
I think I mostly dance on my keyboard… it sounds so much better on paper.
Thank you Bjorn ☺️
Love it Christine. Much more magical a pen dancing across the paper than banging away on a keyboard and staring at a screen!
Thank you Lynn. I know, I always use my computer but there’s something special about writing in a notebook ☺️💕
Sitting in a coffee shop and watching the passing parade provides fodder for our creative minds so having a notebook at hand is always a must. Have a great weekend.
Yes I agree! You have a lovely weekend too ☺️💕
I love the boundless energy you captured with this poem ….. Cheers.
Thank you Helen. I needed something light hearted ☺️💕
