My Illegible Handwriting

All my letters are deformed, beyond a cure. Contest judges trample over my clumsy curvy lines. Voice of my bruised verse is not heard. Sentences zigzag with slow-moving fingers. Unanswered questions become coffin-bearers. Ambition is lost in the cloudy chirography. Black box sounds my broken dreams. First appeared in The Literary Hatchet
