Very well done and very beautifully stated. I love your image of that “noisy, inquisitive woodpecker/that keeps knocking on my windowpane…” because isn’t that exactly what the need to write is like! A pestering inside your head – a noise – a knocking – a need for the words to find their way onto “that frail blank white paper!” Thank you so much for sharing. I have already sent your piece along to my Instagram Programmer so that it can be featured, one day soon, on my Instagram page. I thank you for your interest in poetladykatz and look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Your friend in poetry, Susan
