The disdained dread
to write, to start
and hold pen
to paper, fingertips
to keys.
How hard it is
to motivate ones
self from the
depths of a block.
But what if I keep
typing, pushing
out meaningless
words that come to
mind?
What then will
the reader think?
No, to wonder what
the reader will
think, raises too
many insecurities.
I’m too adverse
to continue.
They laid
down.
UP
Looking
@
the sky
& Wondered
where (?)
the
W H I T E clouds
were.

Poem
A mirror,
To shiver in a river.
To pivot and leave it,
In a leaf wreath for peace.
Race to shape and create,
To elongate a great plate.
To rake a look,
As a clock,
Tick tock.
To rot and drop,
And stop the plot.
‘Are shells sold by the seashore really sea shells?’, she thought.
What if they are just shells that are sold by the seashore, and not ‘sea shells’?
What would the shells be if they weren’t sold by the seashore?
