writing, writing, writing words, words, words... waiting for the lottery is probably easier than the next line always the same day pushes in line for a place and a space in the week... every night is long and offers no remorse for being spare with words wine , pleasant fruit of the vine was so deliciously warm and happy now spilled and mixed with ink poetess is wasting life on paper erasing misery filling in the blanks emptied glasses count in silent measure spaces in between each letter oh poetess... writing, writing, writing words, words, words... she is lonely, lonely, lonely children nearly grown but she always works at home it was the dream then that consumed her lioness who ate the mouse yes poetess... writing, writing, writing words, words, words... poetic justice an oxymoron in this vast wasteland of time and space the world passed her by like a racing yellow cab in desperation of the dream she wrote i love you to anyone who would listen in her youth, they listened her words like gems, glistened she the poetess... writing, writing, writing words, words, words... the poetess tossed all her lovers in the yellow crumpled paper wastebasket Some? she filed them carefully in the pages of her dream book the select? just a few... she placed in her repertoire as poetry with all the dreams of past and present peace and harmony life and death truth and lies and too...all the what ifs the beautiful and unpleasant the poetess... writing, writing, writing, words, words, words...

Cheryl, I think every writer feels like this sometimes. Don't you? But, you can certainly write about it well. "Love makes the world go around" |
