Write Words Writing Club Entry
In dreams we reach
yet separated we remain,
framed by our existence,
locked in our walls
not seeing,
but hoping,
feeling
that the other is out there,
so alike
and so alone.
This poem is in response to Painting #1 in the new blog, Write Words Writing Club: Writer's Club Entry 02/01/2006.
Lately, I've been overthinking everything I've been writing, so I tried something unusual for me. I set a timer for five minutes and decided to see what happened. I think of this as writing hot. There was no editing other than the usual scribbles and word replacements as I went. It was a good exercise to let one image spark one idea and race to get it down.

I've actually done that before...just sat down and wrote, not with a timer, exactly, but determined to let the words flow quickly and then leave them alone. Some of my best stuff--poetry, especially--has been written that way.
Looks good to me. I like it a lot. Now I have to go check the new and intriguing blog.
very good...I was crawn to this picture too but it felt so barren.
You did a good job capturing that feeling.
Wow! Did you ever nail that...good entry! So glad you wrote, I posted your entry at The Writer's Club.
Thank you, I was hoping someone did a challenge for that photo.

Interesting poem, new blog, and painting -- thanks, Cynthia!
Cyn, your poem really addressed the painting.
Very intuitive, insightful.
Looks like you may try the time limits again!

I added your entry over to The Writer's blog. Next time you will be able to.
Thanks so much...
I love your poem, Cynthia. I think it is one of your best. I think of the quote Judi Heartsong recently put on her blog by Basquiat who said that when he paints, he doesn't think about art, he thinks about life. I believe you were thinking about life.
I do see the poem palpably in the painting. Or is it the other way around? You might eventually get so good at this you'll set the egg timer on "soft boiled." Then, "hot dog" on the microwave dial. Metaphors go so well with condiments.
I did this at your suggestion....It was pretty cool...great idea!
