It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Kristine this poem is WONDERFUL! I love how I can see the scene, or moment, (don't know how to call it) but it's very vivid! Sorry for the lack of better explanation, but I can really feel this poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sonja - As you have probably noticed that Fridays are POETRY FRIDAY. I am trying to get my thoughts organized for the "theme" days - I have so many new thoughts - Need to write everything down as they come to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, you should do that. Don't miss those inspirational moments. I often forget to write things down, and then I forget what I wanted to write down, LOL. But I sometimes loose some very nice ideas...
ReplyDeleteI like your "blog makeover". It's nice to do something new and fresh from time to time, don't you think? Maybe I should do the same in a few months?
Have a great weekend! :)
Love the poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing!
So great to hear from you, Rita - Thank you so much - I recently started POETRY FRIDAY, so you can look back and see a post from last week, also ... I have listed a few poems here on my site over the past year - You are welcome to skim through and see more, if you are interested ...
ReplyDeleteSonja - We need to get into the habit of writing things down - So we do not forget - I now carry a small notebook in my bag, I keep a small notebook on my coffee table, etc ... So I always have a piece of paper to write ideas down ... It helps, especially during weeks that I can barely remember my own name ?!???!
