The Spark.
An Ode To The Writers 018
An Ode To The Writers,
Every week, I share poetic reflections on being a writer. A journal entry, shared publicly. I hope that by openly reflecting on my experiences as a writer, you feel encouraged to embrace your path and follow what your heart wants to share.
Honour the spark.
The spark is that idea or insight that arrives when you’re not forcing it to arrive. You come alive. The spark lights a fire in you. Your energy and enthusiasm spike through the roof. It doesn’t last forever, so when you feel it, follow it through. You never know where it may lead you.
An Ode To The Writers came from a spark. Who knows where it will take me, but one thing is for sure, I’m glad I followed it through.
Will you honour the spark?

The match is arcing when I run it across the flint.
I simply need to build and maintain a fire with it.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Now, where's that lighter fluid? 😂
This is a wonderful synchronicity considering I've just finished putting together the manuscript for my next poetry book, all loosely themed around ideas and events that "sparked" something in me, and that I will hope will spark things in other people. If you're on to that idea too, then maybe I'm on the right track! Thank you for this piece.
