Night after night
The blank page beckons
Begin again!
It orders
Find a theme
Express yourself
Expose your feelings
Swear, cry, shout,
Curse, pledge, beg even
You want to laugh?
It's easy
Whatever goes
What's your problem?
A word calls a word
You get in a rhythm
Once blank the page
Presents you with a pathway
That you'll forget as soon
As you turn it
You can twist it,
Plait it, dress it up
Or down, your game
Rhyme it or not
Space it or not
It is all in the end about
What matters
That is writing.
