Writing Woes

 

Talk to the blank page,

As if it were an old friend.  

Great writing should set the stage,

Hurry, lets get started, and begin.  

 

I sit in my chair, poised and ready for action.

My blue pen rests on the kitchen table.

Writing always gives me pleasure and satisfaction.

But, try as I might, I cannot think of what I am able.

 

Write about the time you and Grandma went to Vegas.

Or, write about your last big move.  

I think….Okay, that trip was outrageous.

I began typing, I.m back in the groove.

 

I love stringing words and sentences together.

To make paragraphs turn into a story.  

Oops.  I’m slowing down, stuck forever.

I will try to finish this book when I am forty.
