Struggle

I visited a blog where the idea is to post a poem everyday. I recently complained to someone that I've lost my "voice," so this may be a struggle. But I will try.


Hands.
Fingers clicking on keys.
I hit the Return button
and wait for a moment of passion
to surge.
Expression, not forthcoming, eludes
the capture by impatient ears,
straining to hear the Voice.
A choice becomes a burden,
and my fingers cease to move.

I have been waiting to read something on your blog, you've been so quiet of late. May i say something though..without sounding like a by-stander giving random advice ?
You dont "need" to put in a pome every day..do you ? Isnt this blog about what you are thinking..on a every-second-every-day basis ? If it comes out as a pome...cool...if it doesnt...hey! you've just expressed yourself...and I think thats what blogs are ...

Cheers

satandit: no, i don't NEED to put in a poem every day, but i like the concept of stopping to consciously focus and stir the creative process, rather than wait to react to stimuli. That's necessary too, and the mode i currently operate in.
tj: thanks! i enjoy checking on your entries, too.
