    Poem Commentary

    umm ... yeah. we've all experienced it; enough said

    Missed Inspiration

    The best of it always comes
              Too fast.
    By the time I've grabbed my pen it's
              Already past.
    So I thrash the pages with my mighty
             Barbarian strokes.
    You should see the looks on the faces of these
             Petrified folks

    Boy do I know that feeling. I get tired of having writing all over my arms and hands. Groovy kiddo.

    did you just call me kiddo? that is hilarious!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
