Blank paper stares back < !signature-->Defiantly mocking me I grab my scissors Fold and cut pattern outline I now laugh, at paper dolls! Next sheet taunts me too Laughing at my feeble ploy To regain control. It gets folded in defeat Origami, sweet revenge! The sheets that remain Whisper of my sure demise Fall in the shredder. Inspiration now arrives Where'd all my darn paper go? ****************************** Moonbeams radiate As the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance!

Thanks, Dennis. I needed cheering up today, and reading your poem made me smile. Very nice, and keep writing. Joanna What better way to become immortal than to wake up each day and write? Ray Bradbury |

LOL Good one, Dennis.  Look on the bright side--you could always become an artist. Paper? What's that? You've got Word '98-2000, don't you? Get a digital voice recorder. Then you could walk around town reciting poetry into your hand and people will think you're nuts. ~Gene |

Thanks for the smiles Dennis. This is really a great way to look at writers block.  Oh please don't do what Gene does....walking around in his Birthdaysuit, lost his underwear, and talking into a voice recorder. LOL Pretty soon they lock him up in the 'Stute !  Great tanka's Dennis ! |
