Just a Blank Piece of Paper

Whimsical

This was just a blank piece of paper,

Until these words began to appear.

Now if I could just find a subject,

I could finish this poem in a year.

 

Somebody...yell out a subject!

I'll take an idea, a thought or a dream.

It could be about love or some money.

I can’t seem to pick out a theme!

 

You can’t have a poem about nothing…

That would smack of incompetence I fear.

‘Cause not many people would read it,

And it could end my writing career!

 

Not to mention…‘No talent you dummy’!

‘Why can’t you think of a thing"?

It seems now I writing a poem to myself,

In search of a linguistic string!

 

To heck with this frustrating effort!

I’m just banging my head on a wall!

‘No calm down, calm down, just to panic',

‘Cause your brain has slowed to a crawl!

 

Inspiration is just ‘round the corner,

I can feel it, yes it’s starting to flow!

From out of my mind to my finger in time,

And you can check it all out just below!

Check your spelling. Filling a piece of paper is never easy. I'd love to be able to freely write a poem everyday like some here can do. It's like trying to put together a puzzle and I can't find pieces. You wrote this well and with a good dose of humor too.

Thanks Relic, caught the spelling error. Yeah, wrote this one day when not much was going on. Kind of a whimsical piece but it was fun to write. I appreciate you catch and your comments and I will get buy to read some of your writings. Thanks again.
