Just sitting, waiting
For mental spaghetti
To spill onto the page
I just let me fingers hover
Then tap the keys
Waiting for some sense
To appear like a cheap magic trick
For the cheer
As the rabbit is pulled from the hat
Letting my unconscious know
It’s ready to applaud
Ready for the big bang
Finish off with a picture that says
A thousand words
Increasing text
While adding context to the story
A flurry of colour
That lights the page
And draws you in
Mesmerising
And there it is
Ready for the reveal
Unveil to those who would read it
Done and done

Thank you Susi, it’s much appreciated and a pleasure to come across yours. After reading Ancestors, I’ll be looking for the time to read more. Thanks again.

🙂 I had to *squee* when you said “I’ll be looking for the time to read more.” Not for the obvious reason that having you read my work would be awesome but I JUST (not kidding!) had the thought for a new poem loosely titled Make The Time For Me. LOL just wow how that works sometimes. Glad you’re here. 🙂
