This year, I'm going to be sharing a poem that I wrote a number of years ago from my second poetry and short stories collection called "Frangipani whispers" that I self-published in May of 2018.
I've working on another poetry and short stories collection which is a community anthology that was funded by our local board last year but thought to launch in this year once the COVID numbers had decreased which it seems to be happening now.
The title of the poem is called "Birth of a Poem".
Placing pen on paper
an attempt to express
the sudden urge to write
Lost in thought
of myriad sensations
an idea
explodes in the mind
An apprehensive feeling
what happens now?
will it work?
The world rushes around
as words take on shape
choosing their own form
then...
birth pains
Life breathes on the page
read - inhale
