words lost somewhere in the
sapphire sky

About Me
- Kristin Riggs
- I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1 Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.
I don't know if this happens to my fellow poets, too, but I have found that sometimes the objects or events that I think will inspire me the most end up leaving me lost for words. Last night the sky here was so beautiful. The moon was the brightest it's been in months and in contrast the sky was this deep, rich blue. I wanted to write something that expressed how beautiful it was, but the words wouldn't come. I finally decided to just write about my struggle with writing about it! ha!!! I think that conveys the beauty, too, though because it shows that I was left speechless. Sometimes the most meaning comes from what we don't say...
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kristin!! Several posts back I did one with the words writers block in it too, so I know exactly how you feel!! Your comment said it all:)
ReplyDeleteYes, Kristin...poets i think conveys best when they are open ended.....but not always, though...
ReplyDeletehere, it does...and i love the poem,
I always look at the sky for finding my lost words....sometimes in bed thoughts and words flow as a stream, but I leave them trying to get my sleep...and more often I find them when I sit blank looking at the sky :)
I have been a reserch writer....and my struggle there have got me rid of writers block to a good extent...though my quality of writing may vary :)
each an experience,
wishes,
devika
