I am
A
Writer

Writing
Is
Me
From
The
Beginning

Meant
To
Be

MOLESKINES are my journal of choice.
I enjoy embellishing their plain covers
with photos from my archives.

Reluctance

Our precious words we lock away
Save them for a rainy day

Imprisoned in our minds they stay
Never see the light of day

Anxiously they pine away
Falling into disarray

Ideas once bright dimly glow
If only we could let them go

Across blank paper freely flow
Till new dawn the rooster crows

Weaving tales of wondrous lore
Shaking readers to the core

Alas, not yet, it’s far too soon
Maybe come next blue moon

Not enough

Paint me a
Picture
With your
Words
Take me to
Places
Yet
Unheard

Paint me a
Picture
With your
Words
Set me
Aloft
Free as a
Bird

Paint me a
Picture
With your
Words
Be my
Da Vinci
My oyster’s
Pearl

Paint me a
Picture
With your
Words
Spin my
Imagination
Until it
Unfurls

Note To Self

Scrambled
Notes
As thoughts
Float

Cast
Adrift
In creative
Shifts

Brilliance
Perhaps
One day to
Sift

But for
Now
Action
Swift

No time on
Favorite words
To
Dote

Success some
Other
Occasion
Toast

Once begun
My
Singular
Hope

A sense of
Pride
In what I
Wrote

A piece
Worthy
Of a writer’s
Gift

When read
By others
To
Uplift

I wonder
What it is

About the wiring
In my brain

That allows words
To fly
Off my fingertips

But
To lodge
In my throat
