I’ve been in a bit of a writing funk lately. I haven’t had that blogging feeling for the last few weeks. The only thing I’ve really felt like writing is poetry, which is what happens when I dip into these moods.
My good pal Lizzi invited me to drop some rhymes over at her side-project blog, Well Tempered Bards. I was quite honored by the invitation (still am) because I envy Lizzi’s talent with words. That she thinks enough of my poetry to ask me to contribute humbled and honored me.
Please head over to check out my poem (and read the disclaimer first), and if you’re a fan of poetry follow the blog. Lizzi is an amazing poet, and she frequently features other bloggers and their poetic talents.
Thank you again for having me, Lizzi.
It’s funny where the mind takes you when you’re writing. I started this poem with a completely different direction in mind, but this is where it ended when the words took control and guided me towards their intended destination. DISCLAIMER: This is not how I feel and does not represent anything going on in my life, this is just where my words led me.

Seriously tho…I do like your poetry and especially the creative way you use the physical arrangement of the text to help build the poem. I’ve been impressed by a couple you’ve done like that. Thanks again for letting me borrow you 🙂

You were right to include the disclaimer. What would people be naturally lead to think otherwise? I was just chastised in my comment section for including a disclaimer about some ribald material I posted but I think it’s being respectful of your readers.

Well, I don’t want anyone worried, especially if those are not feelings I’m experiencing.

And that’s exactly what would have happened. Talk of suicide should always be taken seriously. Unless there’s a disclaimer attached to it. Nice work, btw.

If poetry is your method for rocking writer’s block/funk then I want you be in a semi-state always. I’m completely fascinated by the words, phrasing and the way you can deliver such powerful images and feelings with few words. Sometimes poetry just fills a gap where a story won’t. You don’t have the energy to write the whole drama, so you hit the highlights…it’s what I love about reading (and writing) poetry. You are extra good at it. just sayin’

Blog funk? Writing funk? I feel like I have been blocked for the past six months. I like the poem and the side by side with the song lyrics. Face it, you can write (a fact that is not a compliment). I often find that when I start to write – poetry or otherwise – I have one thing in mind, but writing can take on a life of its own. It is part of the creative process. Sometimes, I feel like it produces the best work 🙂

I think it’s neat when a piece you’re writing goes it’s on direction. It’s like you’re just a spectator.
