Word-High July: Paraluman

Posted on July 18, 2016July 18, 2016 by areadingwriter

Paraluman

The cerulean skies,
and the inviting seas,
the elegant sunsets
and sunrise’s scenes,
kept my pen and paper
blank and barren.

Until I saw you.

Wow, the person or (as) muse met is more inviting than cerulean skies and seas. That’s inspiration. Maybe passion, too?

Evocative work, sister!

Isn’t it great how Heavenly Father’s artistry can be so distracting until He brings along what we are really meant to see? This is great, Rosema. 🙂 Have a blessed day!

A lovely poem Rosema. It captures the moment when a thing of beauty inspires us to write and pushes aside writers block.

wow, your poem makes me wish I had a muse. I must not have gotten in line for that in heaven. Somehow I ended up with an endless queue of characters demanding I pen them a scene. Having one muse sounds much saner 🙂
