Writer Dreams Seated in a leather chair at an over-sized mahogany desk surrounded by stacks of books and whispers of encouragement, in a quiet room with gorgeous Mediterranean views the muse alights, and the story of a lifetime writes itself. ********** by Lori Lipsky

Poetry for the rest of us
the story
of a lifetime
writes itself.
Can you hook me up with cartoons that create themselves because I have been devoid of ideas of late ?
The good idea is the hardest part, isn’t it? Hang in there…you can do it.
I could see it… Feel it. Very well done. The perfect imagery
I’m so glad you stopped by, Boomie. Always a delight to hear from you. Thanks for your kind comment.
Dear Lori, Beautiful poem!
Thank you kindly, Ellen.
Lori, thank you for stopping and following my blog. I look forward to following your wonderful poetry. I agree that the story writes itself or the poem for that matter. We just need to sit quietly and allow the process to happen. Thank you for a beautiful poem and reminder.
Take care,
Ivon
I’m glad the words spoke to you, Ivon. Thanks and I’ll see you over on your site.
This one makes me smile. And now I know that the secret to good writing
is a mahogany desk. Off to find one on Craig’s List…
Maybe they have a Mediterranean view for sale as well?
Somehow it seems to want to tell the story.>KB
Great to hear from you, KB.
I could almost hear the click clack of the keys as the story comes to life. Lovely poenm Lori.
Thank you, dear Jacquie.
Brilliant!! That’s a great dream alright
Thank you. I appreciate your comment, Keith.
Oh, I wish! That the story would write itself that is….
You get me, Dor. I wish you smooth writing today.

Beautiful Lori, I could picture myself right there.
Oh, I’m glad. Happy writing from wherever it is you do it.
Great inspiration!
Thank you, Purple Girl!
Or we can be in a darkened room with no window, a hard straight backed chair with little to no comfort surrounding and yet, within this starkness, the writer approaches what is to become the thrill of a lifetime… Magic can happen almost anywhere…! And does…..
Yes, many terrific writers write in humble circumstances…but it is fun to dream. Thanks, Carolyn!
What an imagination you have, woman! Ha! Love it.
Hey, it can happen. Why not? Except the story is never actually going to write itself. That’s what you’re for.
A wonderful article – I think my muse would alight if I was seated in such a marvellous environment!! Blessings.
It does sound marvelous, doesn’t it? Thank you!
You put me in that cahir at that great desk, with a smile on my face and a calmness in my heart.
Thank you
Russ
Oh, how I love your work!
