A mountain of crumpled paper,
Overflowing in white bumpy streams,
That have been shot to outer space.
A half cup of cold coffee,
One bite of a sandwich,
Left on a pushed aside plate.
A stack of various dictionaries
And a condensed encyclopedia,
To search for the word, "That's just right."
Lifting a pen to paper, and draw a flower.
Staring at the typewriter, as if it would help.
A writer and a poet.
Grabbing a full written page,
But only two lines remain,
Unscratched out.
Searching for lost scribbled notes,
Only to find them,
When you don't need them anymore.
Concentrating for days in peace and quiet,
Then at your machine,
The phone won't stop ringing.
So you lean yourself back,
And give life a giggle,
For such is the inspired life...
A writer and a poet.

Hey Suzy,
You aced this one! I now have to add: "wordsmith" as another reason to the many I have already for liking you. Never you mind what the other reasons are. Keep at it. You have craft. Mikey |
