Tinker Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The prompt, face the demons that keep you from writing. I Can Live With My Demons The old cliché, "So much to do, so little time to do it" is so true. Phone calls at the office, "I need this, I need that" "I had a fender bender" Is everyone OK? I still have a day job. Hands in soapy water, the back and forth of the vacuum cleaner, a pile of weeds plucked from the garden. "Home is where the heart is." House filled with grandkid's laughter and screams for the weekend.. Berry picking, County Fair and always, a walk on the shore. Kebobs prepped and placed on the grill. Late night discussion with girls, Grandma's challenge to read poetry book over summer. One almost done, the other only half way there. Laughter, questions, competition, I love teenagers. Writing desk silent until interrupted by "the littles" playing video games on my computer. A little pushing and shoving but more laughter. "I could eat them up." Unwritten poem will wait. ~~ Judi Van Gorder Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yes Judi, life gets in the way, in your case it seems in a good way. Unfortunately for me it's not being busy that hinders writing, it's usually stress. I can be completely busy with a great need to write or I can be completely idle with absolutely no motivation, nothing to say.
