Writing I cannot stop…

I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man. ~Franz Kafka

Poem Artwork

It’s not something I can control,

Keeping me awake at night,

I seem in the early morning to be on a roll,

Leaving me with, in the day, a, of sleep, blight…

 

 

I know it does for me relieve stress,

I guess I’ve found in my life, my niche,

For at time without I am a mental mess,

Am I destined to do any less…?

So glad you are still there, in spite of your hospitalization, the loss of your dog, Rufus and the near loss of your lot in the mobile park.

Remember, writing is your salvation. So don't fight it, go along with the flow.

Good News then. Old Cousin TomKat has convinced old Cousin Patrick to reserve several hours of Outhouse Privacy for you at the Reunion.

I'm happy somebody is doing something constructive, Ed, everything I have touched today has been a bad friggin' joke. Four hours on the phone with AOL trying to get something simple taken care of got me in my mood I have no doubt. Morons. Imbeciles. Assholes.
