A Poem by Inwang Damilare (April 2018 Publication)

27/3/2018

With each word i wrote, a little deeper she fell,
For each sonnet was a piece of her soul that i could spell,
Eventually the writer’s block came and stole my words away.
She left a while later when i had nothing to say.
Heartbroken, Wretched and left with an empty hole.
I pondered who she loved, me, my words or her soul.
Xxx.

This was simply mind blowing.

This poem is applaudable for putting the reader in the same mood as the poet, either by simple use of words or the aid of first person narrative technique. The concluding lines of the poem also attaches the reader a great deal to the lingering emotional state

This poem spells LOVE all around it.
Love the last line "I pondered who she loved,me,my words or her soul" -what a way to end a poem.
The poet gets you involved by putting you,the reader in just about the same mood as the poet.
Feel the title should have been something else other than "A poem" but still a lovely piece.

See how you made writer's block so poetic. That thief steals imaginations away 😢😢.
I guess I related with it as a writer at first but when I read the second time, I related with it as a reader. I love that it has different translations based on who reads it.
And I really love the last line.

Brilliant wordplay!

I loved how the writer made a present-day occurrence very poetic. Talk about writers block. Present day parlance. Either this happened in a day or a few days apart, the poem still applies and captures the writer's thoughts aptly. Very relatable.

The last line begs for the complete story!
