Tapping on My Pen

Tapping, Tapping...
My pen with my fingers,
Waiting, Waiting,
My palms start sweating.

The more I think, the more I'm mad.
Mad about all wasted contribution.
I don't even know why I care so much
About this project
As though none dust should be found.

Tapping, Tapping...
My pen with my fingers,
Waiting, Waiting,
My palms start sweating.

Sweating is my tears.
I just can't handle this
All by myself.
I need you to be co-operative with me.

Perhaps I am a perfectionist,
Perhaps I don't know how to weigh priority of tasks,
But I am serious
In getting score and details.

So come and join me, if you like.
You can sit still all day,
Yet don't disturb my writing
For my thoughts process exist only
At the moment of inspiration.

Oh, please don't say I love hard work.
I have headache in organizing ideas
And pull the whole project together.
I am afraid of interviewing,
Yet I lead cause I want good marks.

What's more crucial,
Is that
It is a perfect way of learning.

Eliza, you are certainly getting very good at putting your feelings into your writings. You have come a long way! Good for you. But, do try to watch your spelling.I think that you meant you were "tapping" on your pen. Not "taping" which would mean you were putting tape around it. I have made these type of spelling mistakes myself, so now I keep my dictionary right here in a little cubby hole in my computer desk. One tiny mistake....and I have put the wrong meaning in a whole poem of my own!! That's how we learn though and I applaud you for keeping up with your writing. hugs, Chris

Eliza:  This is an interesting poem and I like the way you have expressed yourself. I was glad to see Nightshade point out the difference between tapping and taping. I assumed you meant tapping and read it that way.

Thanks Chris. I use a word spell checker and it didn't pick the error up. Now it is fixed.

hehe Chris, you must have forgotten my poem "Yesterday Insult, Today Gain"

Your comments are far from insult, actually, I found it is a compliment So why would I be upset about it?

Just when words escape us they come back again and bring their friends. Lovely
