The Glory of Creation
From my lighter, gentler muse...62 total reviews
Comment from Sasha
Sadly, or maybe more appropriately, fortunately, I am not a poet, don't have a muse and rarely interact with inspiration. Now, as a write where the heck does that leave me? All that aside, I enjoyed this poem very much despite it being so much milder than you usual style. I love the smooth flow, excellent rhyme and rhythm of this one. Keep up the great work.

Hi Dean
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it speaks to the heart of the matter as regards inspiration. Let the writing flow, and keep that muse hard at it.

I enjoyed this write and the message. The work flowed nicely for me but I had trouble with these two lines.
Imagination is the drive behind the poet's motor.
The smallest things make our pens sing until our thoughts grow slower.
I don't think the rhyme is strong enough with the beautiful rhyme the poem has throughout. I also think the second line may read smoother without the first "our"
Just my thoughts ,thanks for another great write.

Imagination is the drive behind the poet's motor.--Wonderful line. The daily writing is also an important message in this poem. Creation is rolling downhill and continues when we write every day. It slows and stops at the bottom of the hill when we write only occasionally, blame it on our muse or writer's block. I'm sure it's that occasional writer who made up all that nonsense about writer's block. Not all of our daily writing may be worthy of a daily posting but it keeps the keyboard busy and arthritis in our fingers at bay. This is a terrific piece of work, Dean. Thanks for posting.

I like the tempo of this poem, Dean. The message is clear and concise too. Writer's block always seems worse in January - at least it does for me. Keep writing, my friend. Rose.

Dean! Now this is the muse that I like! Your author's notes are a whinny oops winner, and no one will say neigh to that.
Seriously, this is poetry that makes the heart sing - especially the part about God getting all the glory!
Thanks for sharing this one. I needed it as a reminder today.
Blessings,
Marsha

>> fight writer's block - pick the lock - allow your thoughts to have their say.
I like "pick the lock" in here. Great way to say it. I never get writer's block. Maybe that's cuz I talk so much. LOL!
This is a really good poem on the topic. You give God the credit, but if you do that, then He's only created everything, even the result of your free will. I think that's not the case. Free will is YOURS. YOU determine what you will do with your mind and body, right? So you should take the credit, since you take the blame and are judged for bad behavior.
>> behind the poets motor. poet's motor, possessive with apostrophe-s
>> ghostly pirate ships, red luscious lips; or crystal mountain springs.
Incorrect use of semi-colon. Use a comma instead.

This is all so true, Dean. Also, it is a work of art in construction. I woke up just before 1 am and wrote a poem. I know that you are so correct and know that, for me, poetic inspiration is something very deep down and I am the better for it. Otherwise, I'd either just explode or wither away. Great piece, my extremely talented friend and Master Poet. Take care. Bruce.

Hey, Dean,
So true in what you say. I used to sit in class and woolgather, because back then I didn't realize it was 'creative genius' at work! (*<*) Nor did my teachers find the humor of my 'non-attention.'
Fun read! I see that skull lurking at the bottom. It's you, so you, my buckeye friend.
Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'.... Jax (*:*)

Writing is a great way to keep the mind flowing or get things off our chests. Nice smooth flow to your creative poem:)
