Mind blowing! When my imagination takes me to the stars it has re-entry problems and burnout on return, unlike yours! Like a true poet you have sprinkled your page with stardust!

Hi Mikey. This is one terrific piece of free verse. I definitely like it and can't imagine who it would peeve. Love your slightly sarcastic sense of humor. The stanza beginning "I shoot through the clouds..." is so full of imagery and imagination. Love the idea of exhaling galactic materials to form words on a page. Great ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this take on the prompt. Best of luck in the contest. Sue

The final stance is priceless. It's the writing and the words that count. Heck, the words don't even count in my book. It's the writing, dammit. Good work, mikey.

The Big Bang of poetry! Only you could pull this off! But wait! On second look, I see creation from something without form and void! All this after my meager six star allocation is gone. Best wishes, my friend.

This is just the second entry I have read for this fun contest. I love that there are no rules allowing the writer to express him/herself without restraint. Great work with this one, I enjoyed it immensely. I wish you all the best in the contest too.

This was very interesting, and full of visual detail. I can relate to this poem as every writer can, especially if it is something special, something that you wrote and you poured every ounce of your soul into it. You are proud of your own work but will others relate to it in the same way.

I really enjoyed this poem, I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

Haha, I liked this! The work and effort it takes to write something. Oh I know the anguish! You did well, creating a free verse expression of the desire to write and playing with words. Love the honesty in the line:
"I consider the stars... "
Best wishes in the contest.
Thanks for sharing this with me.

One of your best. This captures the process of creativity so well. Sitting down with that urge and trying to find a spark. Then, it hits you and you explode. Finally, the reaction. And as long as you get one, it's all good. Exceptional.

This work has reached the exceptional level

then return and exhale them
liberally over the page
it glows and dances in glorious gavottes
as puzzles are posed
riddles revealed
and reasoning resounds -- loved the creativity in these lines
Stunning presentation
Great imagination and a different approach to your writing. You do not put the burden on a muse but you go out there and arm yourself
