I wish I was a poet I wish that I could write the kind poem that talks of love and life. To speak of shards and fractile light while travelling through this vale of tears. I think that, that is so hard I bet it would take years.
I wish I was an author a best seller I would pen ! I’d wow the critics and public and I’d never work again. Or maybe a screen writer a fantastic gun ho! script, a Gothic terror with vampires cavorting in the crypt.
I wish I could write romances , long painful arduous tales with women running barefoot after their men across the dales. I’d have beautiful nurses falling at the doctors feet . God help the poor patients who we never hear of …perhaps they are all asleep .
I wish I could write science fiction that would be so much fun with planet sized star ships with sonic missile guns. I’d have a charming captain who always knows just what to do , and evil, clever aliens with sexy females the human crew to woo. Travel would be in jet cars that work on voice command and no one would ever need to cook or mend as a replicator would always be on hand.
I wish I could write on politics …well no that is not true , because it is a nasty backstabbing two faced thing to do!
I wish I could write comedy I like to have a laugh, with lots of smiles and happy days I’d split your sides in half.
I wish that could write another verse or two but I have run out of ideas. What a twist of luck for you !

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Thank you , it was a funny little thought that popped into my head and demanded to be written!!I am always trying new things out. Have a good day!! XX
Clever words, and deceiving as well…it makes it sound like you WISH you could write poetry, when indeed you can so very well. Lovely! Whimsical! It put a smile on my face. The last line made me chuckle 😉
Thanks Pen yes like you the rhythms and rhymes pop in and out of my head at the most unsuitable times!! I am glad you liked it I thought it was a little too silly , childlike even. happy days to you Pen my friend !! 😀 xxxx
Let loose the child within Willow, oh so many a poem I have written using the child held inside, we lose so quickly the ability to see with eyes that are not blinded by life and it’s many lessons learned. xx
Let loose the child within, watch her leap and dance and spin. She will run you off your feet and embarrass you by singing loud whenever friends you meet. See her climbing up that tree she has ripped that shirt again chasing up the rocks and shouting I am free!! But Oh! she needs a friend perhaps one who can mend??So Pen let loose the child with in together what wonders we could spin!! hehehehehe!! Thanks pen xx here is one I wrote a couple of months ago about releasing the child within. https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/354/
I am glad you like this one it was just a silly little ditty that popped into my head and demanded to be written!! XXXX
Nay, not a twist of luck for us Willow, ’tis always a pleasure to see your thoughts in rhyme and poetry… Do you find yourself thinking in rhyme all the time?…even whilst shopping? and the worst is just before I lay down to sleep,
as my head hits the pillow my mind seems to search, for the next line, thus leaving deep sleep in the lurch… See?.. No hope for me…escape whilst thou canst my lovely friend.. And you are a Poet, your wish was granted long ago, you just didn’t know it… 😀 xPenx
This is great! Lots of humor and just moves along perfectly. I love the lightness and directness! This reads as if it was written with total inspiration and no effort — how such a happy poem should read!
I love the progression across subject areas and the perfect ending! I think this is one of those poems that one shares across the internet or gets published in a general topic magazine. Very impressive!
Why, thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed it. It was as you say a little idea that demanded to be written it was like I was just the instrument for it to get on to the page .. I think my head would of burst if I had not written it !! I hope you are well XXXX
Haha. This was a delight. The last line had me rolling, because I find myself writing the same kind of thing in some of my poems when I literally run out of rhyme. Xx Lily
Thank you it was just a little ditty that threw itself out on to the screen. It was like a spoilt child from the second of it’s arrival demanding my full attention and would not let me rest until it was done. Be well be happy and power to your pen!! xxx
you have all you wished for. the talent for story telling and poetry. you can really develop them further and get published. 🙂
from time to time we get that feeling staring at a blank page or screen. we just need new inspiration. and its just abundant all around us. even the dregs in a cup of tea inspires. creativity knows no barriers.
Thank you so much , you have talent in spades yourself you know??
Iwish a lot of things too… but lately my focus is on taking care of needs…
Yes we all have to live in the real world but it is good to dream. Xxxxx
