Inkblots
Inkblots on the page
With no words to be seen
Each morning is
But an endless routine
The clock ticks as time pass by
The lack of words
I must rectify
Ideas form
Of characters and plots
Erasing all the drippings
Created by the inkblots
Pen poised and ready to strike
The pages filled with verse,
This I like
Immersed in another world
That’s created
No longer am I stuck
And frustrated
Flowing out from within by the tip
Of the gold fountain pen
The inkblots no longer there,
Yet my eyes can’t help but stare
Expecting the worst to occur
As my writing blurs
Instead, the sentences
Become concrete
I will not end with defeat
The amount of time it takes
To craft a story
Will be worth all the
Hype and glory
When readers comment their criticism,
Whether negative or constructive
Would mean my work
Has turned out productive…
