Constellations

by N J Thornton   Apr 22, 2007


I started my day
by trying to dust the ink dots
from the page,
the ones my mulling ball-point
abandoned last night,
and the same ones I'll continue
to make constellations from,
in hope a word or two
paints itself across the page,
as my pen traces a dot-to-dot...

    Hey,
    First of all thank you for your commetn and dont worry about hurting my feelings or anything when commenting, becuase i love honesty. So after commenting on your work im gonna praise that comment! (Ive never acctually done that before lol).
    Anyways i really loved this poem, but im not sure about one thing, "**Ever had writers block?**" is that line part of the poem or not? Becuase i acctually think it'd be an excellent ending if it was, but becuase you wrote it in stars im kinda confused..
    Anywyas the poem overall had a good flow, and even though it was shoprt i think it discribed writers block excellently, i love how you've got that image of dot to dot, it just seems to show how your trying so hard to write yet this writers block is blocking you from it. Then the constellations, creats teh iamge of stars and yet you dont think about a dot to dot creating a constellation yet hear you make us think about that. I really loved it. Keep writing Silver... xx

    Just one thing I would like to comment on, and that is the fact that this poem seemed like an over extended line. You had commas in there, but the period came at the end of the poem. I liked the poem, I thought it was good. I know it's hard to write something when you have writer's block, so very good attempt to get out of it. I enjoy reading your poems and receiving your comments. Keep on writing!

    I loved this poem simply because the vocab was outstanding but at the same time the poem seemed so simple yet it was not. I think so many people can relate to this poem as it shows the true feelings from a poet who has writiers block. Well done on a beautifully penned piece. I also give this poem a much deserved 5/5 ~mel
