DAILY RAMBLINGS....Day Ten

January 24th....‘DAILY RAMBLINGS’

          Day Ten

Back in 2012 I took the challenge of writing a poem a day for National Poetry Month in April of that year.  I know I’ve mentioned this prior.  The following year I repeated the challenge but this time added a three line thought each day.  I called this thoughts my haikus or my version of such.  Re-reading the book which I have both 2012 and 2013 years pieces published, I found the following so true.  There are times I get writers block. It’s not a fun thing.  My mind whirls with thoughts and they tumble in my mind like the clothes in a dryer.  Today’s rambling is short.  It sometimes feel my mind is just spinning around even when I’m not going to write. Seems when I have a lot going on in my life I spin out of control. I don’t know which way is up, down or in the middle.  My mind twirls with so many thoughts.  It’s at times like these I need to sit down, take a few deep breaths then prioritize what needs to come first.  It is the same with writing; whether it’s a journal entry, flash fiction story or verse.  I’m old school at times and like to feel a pen or pencil in my hand while looking at a pristine sheet of paper in front of me.  I recall I once composed a piece about sitting at my computer with an open document and could not come up with something to type (as we don’t write on the computer we type).  Life can be like this at times unsure of what we want to do and we are boggled mentally.  When this happens remember to just sit for a few moments, take a few deep breaths, clear your mind then think of what you have to do.  Write everything down on a list; review it then label each item from most important to least.  It does work for me; hopefully it will for you. 

Until tomorrow....it’s Friday, enjoy the day. 

      

        Day Fourteen 2013 

My mind spins with ideas

    To create my latest blog

         But nothing seems of interest 

           “PAPER HIGHWAY”

My eyes stare at the blank sheet of paper in 

         front of me

The lines remind me is a long stretch 

             of highway

That goes on and on and beyond 

               into infinity

An adventure on a road....having no idea    

             where it will take me

Picking up my pen, I begin to write

Wondering where this journey will end
