Another Poem by Clara

So it's obvious I'm not feeling very creative this week as I try to get back into the swing of things after vacation.  The weather has turned hot and I've been trying to get up early to get stuff done and I think my brain is a bit fried.  My body is I know as I overdid it on working out this week and I'm so sore.  And, yes, I'm back to drinking good beer but don't worry I'm not overdoing it.

But my daughter, Clara, has been creative and writing poems and songs lately.  Here's her latest.  If she writes too many more, she'll have to set up her own blog.

USE NO SCISSORS

Scritch.
The sound of words
Words that change the way
You look at things.
Words that change
Your life.
Blades
Razor sharp,
Digging deep
Are words
Really words?
Or are they wizards
That have the power to put your life on hold
or
even
bring 
it
to
a
halt
?
People see this
And they still do damage
That ends
worlds
completely, cutting 
their fine threads
There is no miracle
No antidote
To revive a world
Help
Someone,
Big or small
Mighty or weak
Use no scissors

    very nice...she writes with great wisdom and flourish...like the transition from the scritch of words on paper to the razor blades...

    clara's got a mighty strong voice and that is a very powerful poem.

    i've found that often times vacations can really zap my blogging creativity (if i have any that is!)

    we are on a weather roller coaster - today is supposed to be delightfully nice temps (but with showers, of course) then heating up for the weekend (which i'm not too fond of)

    but going into the furnace soon as i'll be heading to metro dc which already is already hot and humid according to what i hear

    I like it! And don't worry about needing to relax and/or unwind and\/or "not feeling very creative," etc. Do what you can, and only if and when you want to do it!

    Hmm perhaps she should blog. Sorry I'm really not a great fan of poetry but she seems to have the touch.

    If I Could Change One Thing In This World, It Would Be To Make All Our Scissors Blunt.

    Ah, nice poem Clara.
    Kate, is it possible to overdo it in relation to good beer?
