Working on Poetry

Many deadlines are coming up for poetry contests.
Always a challenging creative time.

INNER VOICES

Unseen and uninvited,
they continue to visit.
Shouting their unwanted messages:
You can’t do that! You're not a poet.

I try to stop them,
but I don’t know who they are.
Invisible enemies, not my friends
though sometimes their voices are familiar.

Pressuring me to think this or that,
become someone different
than I know I can be.

Quieting those voices
brings inner peace as the
voice of the Spirit quietly whispers
love and acceptance by my Father.
