A muse meant...

by Laura Doom

Poetry inspires the writer to mean what she says and the reader to say what she means.

Author's Note: ...to celebrate the frequency of "Wish I'd meant to say that" moments

somehow I am still breathing after I arrive into your timberland. I think it helps me find my way through these woods. and I do believe you mean every word you say, oh writer. —Jill (the one upon your sill)

The serendipitous occasion when writer and reader coincide is wonderful! That is what this succinct definition means to me.

Yes ma'am. I feel it is a wonderful moment when someone puts it better than I did. They may understand what I am saying better than I do.

The poem is created both by the reader and the writer. It is different each time it is read. A relationship forms between the sender and the receiver so that an infinite loop of feedback is constantly causing the words to shape the soul and mind. Very eloquent.... thanks for sharing.

Oh, for sure. Now why didn't I think of that? ;-)Very well said Laura.
