Nuts!

I must be nuts!

Nothing to worry about.

No fear of a misplaced word

no fear of a comma where

should be a semicolon

paragraphs in proper order

sentences as should be,

all writing accepted,

rounds of editing

from me to him

and back to me...

then back to him

all editing through.

Cover art long

since agreed.

Last of three books

on way to printing,

two and a half decades

of writing then re-writing

then re-writing again...

and again

all through

nothing more to do,

nothing more

I can do,

no words arriving

in the middle of the night,

no thoughts coming

that must,

simply must

be remembered,

no vital thought repeating,

repeating in my mind

time and time again

to remember.

So I must be nuts

because from the

TV in the living room

then back to the computer

and back again

then once more

having a need to go on,

but go on with what?

Nuts!

I must be nuts!

So I think I’ll write a dumb poem.

Yeah, write a dumb poem!

anxious to read more of marklichterman's work....

NUTS??? i find that its fun and interesting to examine and try to figure out to what degree of'nuts'i really might be...enjoy it...can't wait to get older and nuttier...and 'writing dumb poems' is fun too...got scores of them...good practice and how else would we know when we do something 'good' if we didn't have that comparison

Dear Mark you are not capable of writing anything dumb. But this sounds like me as I have edited my new novel how many times and just sending it off to the publishers. Nuts! I Too Must Be Nuts! LOL

Your Newfie Friend Hugs XOXO, Rose
