About A Poem
O you timid creature,
I see you hiding
in the corners of my mind.
I know you.
You are not like your brother,
the story, brash and bold
whose strength lies in the characters
that constantly demand attention,
sentence after sentence;
paragraph after paragraph.
You need the midnight hours,
a quiet reassurance
and a pen that can dance as fast as your passion stirs the stars.
O you timid creature,
don't be shy.
Come, jump into the inkwell
so that I may write you beautiful.

Love it.. lol.
thanks for sharing.
Wilford! Aww . . . thank YOU for reading and commenting on it. I am so happy you like it ⚘x
Yes!!! Tina! Even with writer's block, you write awesomely. I have learnt so much over the months, just by reading your work. Also sorry again if you felt pressured into writing something... I hope that you can persuade your timid creature! (Perhaps chocolate might help XD). Smiles to you Tina. Your friend Max
Hi Max...I did not feel pressured into writing, my friend, don't worry 🤣🤣🤣 I am busy on other writing other projects at the moment so while I like to come on here and read everyone's brilliant words I don't always get round to posting. You just reminded me that I should. And then as I thought about writing some sort of poetry a little figure crept forward. She was very timid and shy. She sucked on a blanket that she was hugging and said to me, in her quiet little voice, "Will you write about me?" And so I did. And she was happy...glad you are too 🙂
I love how Cosmo is so friendly and we all learn from each other. Have a fab day my friend ⚘x
wonderful poem love it
I am so glad to hear that. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading ⚘x
Read it again and again. There are people in heads, fully formed demanding attention easy to birth into words. Clamouring. Then there is the soul who cannot be forced and speaks only when it is deeply dark or stunningly beautiful and appears with its very own ink...only when it is ready. Who can express such things so stunningly as you?? Amazing, relevent write Tina. We can spout and spout a hundred times a day or we can wait and write with deep deep meaning. It's not writers block...
its the difference between a write of true meaning or random crap. I am the latter...you the former. Stay as you are...you are valuable here to us on Cosmo...lots of hugs 💕
It's all in the head, Marion ( taps head) 😉 I knew you would get this and understand where I was coming from. Different writing projects require different approaches. Different mindsets, infact. Writing, whether articles, short stories, novels, scripts or poetry is all writing at the end of the day but each of them require very different techniques. I imagine them all as people...for some obscure reason 🤣🤣
YoU, Marion, are an extremely talented poet! Please don't ever doubt that! You have a perfectly poetical sense and style. Your creativity with words is anazing. Your poems are deep and make a reader think on things as they feast on your beautiful word choices. Your poetry is outstanding!!
Anyway...I have to go off to sort some horses out. Thank you so much for delving into this poem and truly grasping its intent. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou and thankyou again. Stay being awesome. Hugs ⚘x
You can't compliment me on YOUR
compliment space...lol...you've broken the rules 😆
give my love to the horses...you lucky bastard...wish I had a horse ❤️❤️❤️
Oh yes I can!! Aren't rules only made to be broken? 🤣🤣
I dont have my own horse, Marion. Not anymore, sadly. I help out my friends who have horses. I would love to have my own horse again ... if miracles are a thing then maybe I will have another horse one day. 🤞 🐎⚘x
Definitely...break rules!!!
I hope you have one too...I suppose we are both lucky as I have access to Sony and Rosie also though only over a fence. But they know me and honest to god, I am soooo chuffed when they come galloping towards me! They are fab animals Tina...go feed!!! ♥️
They are lovely arent they? Good that you have two pony pals ⚘x
Absolutely incredible write. I loved this, resonated deeply. I can't stop, can't get it out quick enough. Such an awesome share, thank you so much, this was inspiring ☀❤
Hi Shelley-Anne. I am so glad you like it. Thanks for reading and pinning. It's lovely to read your comment ⚘x
Hi Tina! Wow I love this amazing piece! Telling the pen and ink come here and I'll write u down!! Writing is a great topic to write about. I did it too with my prem catch me. I've done another too but its not posted on here. I love reading your poetry. Soo pinned! Px
Hahaha..yes! You have to catch them don't you? I remember your poem, I am sure I do. Thank you for reading and for the pin. I'm so happy you like it ⚘x
Ooh I liked this, pinned to read again. I love a good dedication to writing. Talking to the pen and ink, as if it were a pet 😊 brilliant perspective on how we connect to the art of that flowing ink 👏✨🌻
Hi Gwendoline 🙂 you've been away for a bit so it's good that you are back on Cosmo. You are right about the art of creative writing, it is a special sort of connection to be sure. Glad you like the poem. Thank you so much for reading and for the pin ⚘x
You are so welcome, I have a lot of reading to do. Lovely to see you still here. I got sick and spent some time in and out of hospital. Spent a lot of time with my special needs boy. But am healthy again now. With a new spring in my step for it
thank you for remembering me 💛
Sorry to hear you've been ill. Hope you are feeling much better now! ⚘x
Very much thank you 😊
Nice work BM
Thank you very much for saying so, John. Glad you like it ⚘x
Tina apologies, better late than never but glad to be here.
To discover your well written and imagined poem that really hits home for a poetry train of thought writing that can be seen through beginning to end and not mothballed cos a poet couldn't make it work.
There's nothing worse for a poet to lose their inspiration mojo or va va voom.
Their sparkle.
But your superb poem shines and oh, so brightly!😊
Thanks for sharing Tina and apologies for missing the original party.❤️
Awww...thankyou for your kind words Shaun! I tend to think of things in terms of characters - and a poem, to my mind, is a shy little being compared to a story. Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts. I will try and catch up with your work tomorrow. I have been trying to catch up on Cosmo generally today between writing something I am currently working on. So my eyes are being very difficult to keep open right now 🤣🤣🤣 Have a great evening Shaun, and thanks again ⚘ x
Tina, like I said I'm the late reply master and this proves it!😊
And I now about being tired and it's never easy trying to find time.
Hugs my friend ⚘ x
Simply me. I relate so much. 👏
I thought you might! Thanks for reading, Greg. Much appreciated ⚘x
Consider these words appropriately pinned .. for indeed they pleased me no end ............................... N :)

I know I've been here before .. but thought I ought to let you know, you kinda took the words write outa my mind, mouth & pen ... but in a darn good way .. & it tasted so bloomin good x
Hi Being Me,
Since you sent me two lovely comments I felt obligated to read one of you poems. I checked your read numbers and see you are killing it on high number count. Also all your poems have 5 stars so I can see you are a serious poet that people like very much. I love the creativity of this poem.
Great job.
Bless you, but please don't feel obligated — I comment on poems regardless but I thank you HUGELY for reading my poem here, and I am very grateful.
Thank you for reading and thankyou for leaving a lovely comment x
