I Say An Idle While

Here I sit Pen In hand I wish to write superbly. If only I were deserving With insurmountable perfectionism. And receiving copious AWARDS. Walking away with a glow in My cheeks. How else do I compete. Meek ME. Awards seek me. The tone of the writing should Land softly at the beginning. That can be perfected. It can be quite disturbing. If I were the pen of a Wizard how would I plan such A feat. If I can. I wish to write UNNERVING. I say I wish to write an idle While. Filling my head with Tranquil thoughts and Favored flavored verbs And contrary to popular Belief. I do take and preserve. I would Seize the opportunity to follow The lead of Emily Dickinson and Frost. Who ever is BOSS. More than words can say, I get Criss crossed. I say every TIME I fumble is a learning experience. I say I'm better for it. Such as day LEARNING from night. There is no better teacher than Your self. Or let the public decide. And I will Take an idle while to HONE my skills Adequately making time for Reflection.
