The Poet hasn't spoken in a while...it needed to speak.
~~~Wordless~~~
"You're words are so pretty..."In my head it all sounds right,
But written on paper its ugly on sight.
It sounds so fluid in my mind,
But when I write the words I find,
That I never had the words at all,
And now I've got to fight the Fall.
My tongue doesn't agree with my pen,
And neither do the ideas of men,
But still I write the words,
Just to see if I can reach the birds;
The ones that hum their own secretive tune,
Calling out to the lonely loon.
If I only reach one that's alright,
These words weren't written for praise tonight.Fatally Yours,
Dead End Poet

Yeah. It's the need to write... the expansion of (self) expression. I've written things that aren't my best just to write, but I wouldn't say this poem is inferior by any means. I like the idea of writing to reach the birds, an element of the heavens, a type of ascendency... of rising to the top like creme. And sometimes our words take flight of their own volition. Sometimes we're surprised by the amount of comments concerning these words of ours that take flight. But I have to agree with you: sometimes it sounds like heaven in my head, but on paper the human-element removes paradise. Then the editing comes into play to restructure it like it originally sounded in my head.
I like your poem because I (think I) understand it.
i love this. it's really great.
