From the upcoming book of poetry titled Connection.
Sitting at
a table
on a bed
in a park
by the sea
near busy shopping areas
Writers absorb life.
Observing with
curious eyes
wondering ears
flexible ideas
examined experiences
inspiration sources
Writers receive life.
Concentrated creation
involved development
bated breath
changing pace
sensing guidance
temporarily away
Writers feel the writing.
Personal hindrances
learned routines
family needs
daily responsibilities
community influences
living requirements
Writers manage interference.
Like others,
Writers struggle with
Daily obligations and
Self-inflicted stumbling blocks.
Unlike others,
Writers wear the
Call to write
Inside their bones.
