Blankety blank...a no no

just start...


Poem Artwork

Start with a blank piece of paper
A computer screen will do
Stare at it Glare at it Swear at it
But get something down before you,
Lose all that wants to escape from you
And there is a lot more than we ever knew
The bits and the tids and the why why whys
We are all capable, it's true
Are we TCB or Capote or Hemingway
Angelou or Gary Wic-kins
No, we are us and that is okay
Mizterious is the process, so let us spend
Time in our imaginative places
When not reading all the great stuff
So when we lie down for that last time
We will have expended enough

The picture is funny...

Have a wonderful day!
