Blank Paper

Blank paper is a magical place-holder

Blank Paper

 

Should your world get colder

right down to the wire,

fill this blank place-holder

with a blue sapphire.

 

Place it in a folder;

light your world on fire.

When you get much older,

add to it a lyre.

 

Strum notes that are bolder

‘til you feed your pyre;

then add your last molder,

an angelic choir.

the poem Blank page that inspired Me to write Blank sheet of paper
by the poem Blank page by: avinash. Then you read Blank sheet of paper
and you're Inspired to write Blank paper
it is like a on going Chain that never stops.

Place it in a folder;

add to it a lyre.

left alone in the dust of a corner, reams of blank stacked and wrapped,
Paper,
left alone cleaved to each other their polite cousin embraces won't make the news,
Paper,
Inked labeled the chest plate, a dream on ,
Paper,
alone the words fall in the forest to rally the call, to pool at the trunk of ,
Paper
Yet to be.

Thanks for your poetic review, lee von cleef! I enjoyed how you personified "Paper". I like the image of blank pieces of paper embracing each other hoping for the fulfillment of their dreams. Words through paper may redeem a fallen tree giving it a soul.

Ya, paper has fun when no one is looking too.

You welcome, take care my friend

[Ghost of Jupiter]

The blank paper represents endless possibilities, perhaps why it holds that magical place in a writer's heart. Beautiful write Aethereal, truly enjoyed.

Thanks for your review, Kalypso! Where there's endless possibilities, there's room for all of our hopes and dreams.

[Tina Kline]

Very nicely done. I enjoyed this. There is a lot of opportunity when faced with blank paper and a lot of fear too, I think.

[Aethereal]

Thanks for your review, Tina! A blank paper reflects back what we both love and fear the most.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love is always kept kindling by the pen...when we first lose it...when we get much older and then even right before our last breath...the pen still holds the fire of what we once felt.
