Flight.. Writers Island #30

IMAGINATION
If you can talk
you can fly...
That's what the
high fliers tell me.
They're floating man,
when they communicate.
Poets are like that.
Give them a quill,
some ink,
a moment to think!
And their imagination
takes off.

  1. I need a little more than a moment to think when I attempt a poem! And I stupidly accepted a challenge to write a poem a day during April! 12 down 18 to go!

  5. It is that way for writers of short stories too - I wish I could write poetry but it is just not my thing. Stop by my Slice of Life Sunday and see if one of the prompts inspire you.

  12. So true ! Most often all it takes its an idea to 'wing ' its way into your head ...

    But sometimes one can be bogged down by "air traffic congestion" too :P


    Thanks for your visit. :)

  16. Having read this, I have a clearer idea of what you meant by 'floating' in your comment on mine so 'thank you'. Your poem has a lovely lucidity in its conversational tone.
