Love Poems Lost At Sea

Published on by thelonelyauthorblog

Hola people. The struggle is real. I stared at a blank page for three hours while Allie watched Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix. So, while I was trying to retrieve my romantic mojo she was sighing to McDreamy and McSteamy. Meanwhile McChimpy was McBlanky. Here is a reblog for anyone who may have missed it, while I rant to the Gods of Poetry.

Love Poems Lost At Sea

Lovely little love poems
Filled with passion and amor
Do they lose their worth
If the intended fails to adore
With heart and soul
love poems tend to woo
so accept his caring message
his words are meant for you

Many poets go unread
like clouds in a sunny sky
with unrequited metaphors
unloved poets live to die
if love poems wilt away
when a lover denies his plea
this poet prefers to disappear
with my love poems lost at sea

  1. Please don’t worry so much about the writers block. I know it will get better. I’m afraid the more you try to force something, the harder it will be. Maybe write something else, watch TV with the lovely Allie, try music, reading, a totally different style of writing, do a challenge on WP. But please don’t be so unhappy, it’s breaking my heart!

  2. I hope inspiration strikes soon. Walking away for a while sometimes helps me… distractions. But most of the time, I read or I just start typing anything and every thing in my head and see if anything useful pops up. (Or I discover that I’m crazy in my head…lol)

    1. I know sometimes it is best to walk away. I am undergoing some stressful crap right now. And the stress is getting in the way of creativity. (But I already take a weekend break from blogging). When I have writers block with my novels, I start editing chapters, an the mojo comes back. But since I rarely edit my poetry, I have nothing to use to get back in rhythm. I have tried to brweak out of it by reading the poetry of other bloggers, but it isn’t working. Thank you for your supportive words and ideas. I really appreciate.

  9. You’re killin’ me–your intro’s too funny!! I have a suggestion, but it will take a bit of work. If I recall, you usually write free verse–yes/no? Why don’t you choose a form that requires you to graph out syllable/line count and/or rhyme scheme. This will give you a frame to work with, then you write in the first line that comes to mind (trust me on this), and work around it–with whatever changes you need to make at the end. I have used this method from time to time, and with very good results. And if you choose a form that uses a repeating line or 2, you’ve now cut your sweaty inspiration work down by about 1/3 or so 🙂 Let me know what you think (if you’re successful, I’ll bill you for the 2 cents) 🙂

    1. Hahaha I was thinking about that last night, trying a little free verse may help. Thank you for taking the time out to outline your suggestions. Everyone has been so helpful. Thank you so much.

      1. Rodeo cowboys have a saying: “You ride yourself into a slump, and you have to ride yourself out of a slump”. It probably works the same for writers, though I’ve never experienced a “block”–and that’s not a boast…I just don’t know what it’s like. Your quality is not suffering–so maybe you’re just fretting about lack of quantity. In which case, I’d just post old pieces till you get a surge of inspiration… Another idea is to do some other creative endeavor, to take your mind off writing–like for me, it’s cooking. Well, I just got up–so that’s the limit of my genius 😉 I’m confident you’ll be a virtual river, surging with poetry soon 🙂 Catch you later.

        1. Like your words. I have experienced writers block with my novel writing, but I start to edit a few chapters and I break out of it. Writing poetry, I have nothing to edit to get me out of this slump. What is bothering me is the way it isn’t flowing out of me as it usually does. I struggle so badly with every line. Thank you for your encouragement. Let’s see what happens.

          1. I’m encouraged to hear that you don’t need to edit your poetry, as I know some poets who agonize over their writing–I’m not one of them, thankfully 🙂 Mine are either good enough to post…or I write something else!

  12. Patience can be hard to find during these times, yet it seems that pushing just makes it worse.I am completely confident you will get your mojo back! It’s too strong to go away, maybe it just wanted a short vaca?

  14. Let’s collaborate on something! I’ve been wanting to write with you for the longest time. Maybe together we can open your blocked brain. Even if we can’t, I bet we would have one hell of a good time! 💋

            1. Yes, I believe that is true. I was discussing it with my wife and thinking of possibly only blogging two or three days a week. I really need to concentrate on my novels and screenplays. I believe life is stressing me to the point where I cannot create.

  16. Grey’s Anatomy! Yes, I used to watch that. I wasn’t attracted to them, McHotties but maybe I’m just in denial. But then again, I love House too. And he’s not a hottie. But he sure is funny! Er, sarcastic.

  17. Write about writers’ block. Tell us how it feels to struggle. How it feels to visit the caverns of your mind and find them empty. How it feels to see beauty standing in front of you and not being able to find the words to describe it. How it feels to sit at the computer and wish you could “bleed.”

  19. This is a great poem and I love the line:

    “Many poets go unread
    like clouds in a sunny sky
    with unrequited metaphors”

    Metaphors are also a great way to get creative 🙂 Hope you are feeling better today 🙂

  20. Firstly, lol at mchimpy was mcblanky.
    I hope your writing mojo returns asap. I swear the change of weather here has affected my writing, sunny all of a sudden.

    Secondly, loved the ending to the poem. You nailed that idea of writing needing to be read, otherwise its a rejection in itself beyond a lover not reading it. We need our writing to be read 🙂

  22. Oh my, that is such an intriguing concept. Are love poems truly love poems if the recipient is not touched or feels the same? Or are love poems defined by the speaker/poet’s feelings regardless of the recipients?

      1. I can’t really blame her. What a wonderful relationship you two have, it truly warms my heart (almost as much as the McSteamy’s….). 😉 ❤
