tenderness of your touch
tickles me to insanity
blush spreads evenly
to each of my pores
I quiver deliciously
in the aftermath.
whispering wind
spirals singularly
near my ears, saying
what I can only listen to
with the help of my skin
senstized to yours, like silk

Do you do writing exercises or warm ups? Do you think they could be valuable? Have you found warm up exercises helpful in some other area of your life, e.g. art, music, athletics?
All of us have those moments when we can't write, for one reason or the other. We need some sort of inspiration to continue with our creativity, be it writing, music or anything else. When there is a block of any kind, writing exercises do help. Those make us think and the creative juices do start flowing. At least they do for me. What I post here on my blog is miniscule of what I really write. I do most of the prompts as this way I can interact with others writers and that is one good way of getting inspired. Reading and interacting with other writers also help in the formation of new thoughts.
I have not gone in for warm ups, except perhaps in physical exercises. I have not given it much thought before this. I suppose that too is a good way of making the mind work towards whatever goal we wish for it to achieve.
How do you feel about it? Do you need to be inspired?

ReplyDeleteI've read your poem several times but didn't comment because there was "something" tickling my mind about it.
This morning, I look at it and say, "OF COURSE!" This is a poem that someone might write to their muse! So, the poem, and Becca's question about where our inspiration comes from are directly related, perhaps.
Lovely.
delicate and tender..
ReplyDeletelove it
OOOHH! Couldn't have said it better! Loved it!
ReplyDeletenicely done.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful sensual poem!
ReplyDeleteas for warming up - absolutely when undertaking physical activities. but in writing i have never practiced anything like that. perhaps i should... might bring my inspiration back
Very nice. Makes you feel.
ReplyDeleteSince it's important to me to keep wriitng, I have worked out a number of exercises that get me started.
ReplyDeletewow! this is lovely...
