Karen Erdmann Words and Pictures - "I love words.  I love it when they pour out of me like a fresh spring, when they bubble and then build and quickly spill over my fingers, filling the pristine white of the page.  My muse and my fingers come along-side each other and begin the work that will become poetry or prose or story or card. I love that. I love it when they call to me in whispers. In unformed thoughts that tickle the edge of my creativity, blowing on my eyelashes so gently that I need not close my eyes in defense.  The whispers build to words and if I listen long enough they will string together like a carefully formed web of beauty.  Like a journey through the forest, the story does not come quickly and does not come all at once and it calls to me to appreciate the beauty of the moment's message.  I love it when the words demand hard work.  When words, joined together, crash into each other like two rams seeking dominance.  Neither wants to yield and perhaps neither stands perfectly in the sentence.  It takes hard work and so I work. I work with the words or with the sentence structure or with another intriguing form like a cinquain.  I love the hard work for at the completion there is that predictable ahh....  I just love words."  Read Karen's writings
