I Want to Write

I want to write
But can hardly find the time.
I come up with good ideas,
That not expressing them it's a crime.

I want to write
But the day is over before I know
The pages are still blank
So I have nothing to show.

I want to write
I eagerly awake each and every day
Then life begins to happen
And I am left in disarray.

If any of you out there
Have an idea, tip, or thought

    I do most of my writing in the wee hours of the morning before the sun comes up. I call it "working the night shift." Good night and sleep tight. :o)

    I think of Winston Churchill's comment "If a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing badly." This ironic remark is not disparagement but to encourage you to do a lot of it, eventually you'll get good at it. Keep writing! What seems difficult now,you will master. It's obvious to everyone commenting here that you have talent, keep developing it!

    I agree with Mr. Reinstein. You seem to have written, have you not? Keep up the good work!

    Well done. I often end up writing poems when I don't know what to write.

    You don't need advice - you have solved the problem yourself! When unsure what to write, write about THAT!
    Best of luck and nicely done poem.

    With Love,
