Hammering A Thought

Sometimes I have to hammer

A thought into place.

It gets a poem going

But leaves a lot of space.

 

It is then I have to hammer

A stubborn word in place.

Once a line is full, it's no bother.

I'm a carpenter trying to write.

keep hammering George. I'm so glad you didn't leave. I know your poetry gets MANY more views than it does comments. It's that way for most of us here.

Hammering words into place can be like putting square pegs in round holes, or at least it's that way for me.

I'd agree. A hammer makes a very poor pen. Unless, of course, you're trying to read dents in wood.
