PonderingAs I wonderPondering by =VertigoArt
about wandering
I wonder what
it would be like
to wander
into your
mind
pictures only hold so muchI tried to hold on to you,pictures only hold so much by =VertigoArt
but my mind let you slip from my memories
and now all I have are pictures
of a woman I don’t remember
and barely recognize.
You see, in my hands
I hold nothing
because nothing is what I am left with without you
and I wish I could still recall
your lips on mine,
your body pressed close,
or how it felt to hold your hand in my own,
but I can’t and I never will,
but the pictures tell a story
that I wish I remembered
because I know
that you meant something to me
and I know I meant something to you.
I know you were mine and I was happy to be yours.
I just wish pictures held more than image

That time I choked you to deathYou have settled in my mindThat time I choked you to death by =VertigoArt
and I have settled in my mind
that it is okay to let you in
even though you don't know,
but you will know when I …
Grab you from behind
and you scream a scream
that makes me think of letting go,
but I just can't.
I want you for my own
whether you like it or not.
Another night with youSettle down with me.Another night with you by =VertigoArt
Cover me with you.
Lie down with me
and hold me tight
with your heart
against my chest
and your lips
against my neck
and kiss me
like you want me
to never get out
of this bed
where we are
wrapped together
forming one
where two
once were
and hold me
and try to
not let go,
but sometime soon
I need to leave you
and return to my life,
my kids and my wife.

blossomed
in the green
freshness
of spring
my flesh as
firm and sweet
as a ripe fig
between
sure teeth
but long days
of sameness
have curled
unnoticed
into years
and the dried
parchment of
my youth
yellows into
dust
as I bow
my head in defeat
before the
setting
sun
The Rites of SpringIt was a quarter before midnight,The Rites of Spring by ~Yuniku
the slight breeze of new beginnings, and revivals of the hauntingly dead cold winter
creep silently amongst the evening air...
chilly but humid, I can taste the moisture in the air
misty-cool rain softly drizzles upon my skin
as the fragrance of purity embraces my nostrils
the fog sneaks past me to mingle with the trees
and converse unspoken words
while unintentionally obscuring my vision
in a futile attempt I begin to listen to the silent whispers
Spring has finally arrived....
And we have flourished rapidly over the years unexpectedly
a blooming relationship, so deep nothing could penetrate

Be Inspired, Part One: Collecting Inspiration
Be Inspired, Part Two: Setting Goals
Part Three of this series, as we prepare for NaPoWriMo, is how to find inspiration.
Almost every writer has, at some point, faced writer's block, or wondered how to overcome a lack of material. Sometimes you can't think of anything. Sometimes you know, just know, there's a poem lurking in the air around you, but you can't find it. Below are some easy ways to overcome your blocks and track down those poems.
Of course, this is not the first article about writer's block on dA. Write #8 (Write #8 is an excellent resource. However, since we're faced with the task of writing thirty poems in thirty days, a recap can't hurt.
The most common gripes about writer's block involve words not flowing, a lack of inspiration, or both.

The Challenge
To write/draw/illustrate a new deviation describing what the world might be like if another Great Depression occurs.

Our SongI listened to that songOur Song by ~Caillile
And remembered when you sat in the back seat
Whispering the words in a sad sing-along
Of this is what we (don’t) have
For the first time in a year, I laughed at this
Until the laughter and the 75 MPH
Might have collided in one of those comedic tragedies
So I straightened my course
With a smile still tugging at my lips
I don’t take back everything I ever said to you
I don't regret things which taught me something,
No Matter How Painful this was
But I’ll take back that song
I’ll take back the bits and pieces of my Heart
I farmed out to you in the hopes something would grow
That we coul
