RE: True Freedom (An Original Poem)
Very beautifully written, like all your poems. I especially love the grass between the toes. Whenever I see a well kept lawn, that is all I think of, is how it would feel to my bare feet. Same with beach sand, I love the soft feeling caressing my feet. I can't wait for your book to arrive this week too. With enough practice, I hope to write beautiful poems. They are starting to flow from my thoughts and hope to start posting more of them :-)
Thank you very much! I was walking our beagle, Amstel, last night when this poem came to me. I jotted it down immediately on my phone. The secret to poetry is to write from the heart and not the head -- this way the reader feels the words.
Hmm, good idea with the phone as a place to write them down, since most come in the blink of an eye. I have come up with poems that were very much from the heart. Those are the ones that I wish I had written down. Am sure when it's the right time, they will begin to flow :-)
I use the notes feature of the iPhone and then transfer to Google Docs once they're more polished. It works great. Best of luck to you in your writing!
