POETRY IS LIKE A FICKLE GIRLFRIEND

Dahlia Tera

One day, she is smiling,
One day, she is weeping,
One day, she does not come off,
One day, she disappears …..

Poetry is demanding,
Inspiration wants silence around.
The poet and his page in symbiosis,
Whispering to each other,
Without interference,
Immersed in a mysterious dialogue,
In unison.

But sometimes,. magic does not work:
The girlfriend did not come to the appointment.
The right words are not found.

The poet feels empty,
His girlfriend does not show up ;
He waits for her with his pencil in hand.
He knows she is inconstant , discontinuous.
Then he feels anger, disappointment, inability,
He is impatient and loses self-confidence.

What to do? Many why inside….

Perhaps he is distracted by what surrounds him:
Sounds, colors, smells, people….

Poetry is demanding…..
He wants the soul of the poet , his inspiration….
Poetic creation is unique,
Only at this auspicious moment.

He will wait silently
In front of the white sheet
For the fickle girlfriend to come back.
Then the pencil will flow again
In the enthusiasm of the reunion.
Together they will sing again
Of landscapes, of sunrises and sunsets,
Of skies and clouds, of heart and feelings,
Of joy and sorrow, of here and there…

In perfect harmony,
The blank page is filling up:
The inspired poet begun to write…

Happy creating in the shining flame
With his fickle girlfriend.
