[title] => Writing Poetry on a Bus !!!
[time] => 2009-09-18 14:48:52
[hometext] => While taking a bus journey I though I would try and write a little poem.I never realised just how hard it would be !!
[bodytext] => My writing, which at the best of times is barely legible Takes on its own persona, that of hyperactive spider Or so it would appear to casual observation. Capital P, like a parking sign scaled disproportionate Against the rest of the sentence, meandering as the travelled terrain. Guidelines of a notebook become as music stave Some words leap skywards, others entombed below. Should my last moments be on this shaky mode of transport Everything now scribed would be lost in translation. Man made winding road cuts through carpet hillside As unexpected jolt pushes pen right through the paper. With tick tock regularity flow of thought is interrupted Minds tap turned off and on to the whim of tarmac road. Once more we pitch into the valley, brakes shake the windows Disrupting creative flow as we travel, slave to brakes on snake road. Is this an E or A I see before me, U or V will I recall? Freshly laid asphalt appears to be the cause of my dyslexia. The words of a hymn spring to mind, I will not cease from mental fight My pen will not sleep in my hand, this to me is my Jerusalem. Rumbling through this green and pleasant if slightly blurry land This bus and I stage our battle of wolls, correction battle of wills. As we climb mountainside, one thing is certain Missing among the list of tasks to do tomorrow will be Writing poetry on a bus !!!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
