Subject: Writers Lament Author: kkoala [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:57:04 10/13/02 Sun The hour strikes and bells do ring The midnight hour is here again Not a single person walks about Apart from me I have no doubt The quiet gives me inspiration To write of things of irritation I tend to write to pass the time But need the peace to make it rhyme The daylight hours are way too noisy With barking dogs and kids so rowdy There’s cars with horns and bikes with bells And mothers who do naught but yell. The blissful peace of solitude Puts my head back in the mood To write these words on plain white paper Then I’ll type it up and correct it later Alan G.T.

[> Subject: Re: Writers Lament Author: Jemmones [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:18:34 10/13/02 Sun I recognise the feeling in this poem ... I too feel bad tempered with the world at times. Especially as everyone seems to hurtle by and I am left in slow motion. LOL. (J) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Writers Lament Author: Oksana [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:53:27 10/16/02 Wed I especially like this one, for I'm sure, anyone who comes to this site would relate. I often find myself writing when other people are out and about, or sound asleep. I write in class, at home, on the bus, at the bus stop, at my friend's houses, in a corner, under the bed on the floor....etc... Most people think I'm nuts but I need to pour out my anger with the world, which always seems to pass right by me. Especially today. Good one, KK, chalk up another one in your favor! ~Oksana [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
