Poem
Haunting night for writer's block decided to 
explore my writing endeavors awakened always 
at three am feeling overwhelmed from another night 
filled with words dancing about inside my head to put 
to pages immediately before they shift again suddenly
 
I realized one of my poems title was changed to untitled 
checking my notes why I make extra careful to copy all 
my work even though I began writing simply the 
old fashioned way on paper yellow note pad's to be 
exact line for line submitting by mail after my son begged 

me to show my poem to his teacher so I let my son 
take one of my poems to school for show and tell 
he read it in front of the class my son's teacher was 
so impressed she admired my work so much she 
begged me to enter Montel Williams poetry contest 

back in 1999 to my surprise excellent write I was just 
house wife mother of eight retiring from my employment 
Mac dill Airforce base after an injury I adored writing 
telling short stories writing to amuse my children constantly 
with children books poems music unexpectedly 2003 

I was in a serious crash car bomb ignited my skull 
fractured my nasal arch crushed sinus plate crushed eye 
socket bruised frontal lobe temporal lobe and my optic nerve 
blinding my right eye crushed my face bruised my brain 
to my surprise I wrote uncontrollably compulsive writing disorder 

I would say because I needed to save my brain my doctors 
told me thank god I wrote poetry writing helped my brain injury 
it helped your mind function comfort my brain so I couldn't 
stop writing my brain sent signals to my mind creative writing 
began me i needed to keep writing just in case my brain injury 

someday stopped in mere thought how devastating I thought 
to wake up and vanish I was blessed I'd written an autobiography 
of my entire life I wrote everyday all day in case dementia Alzheimer
to someday surface I dreaded this being a writer who knows 
at any rate writing poetry everyday enhanced my memory 

enhanced my life so finally got my first computer and began 
submitting several poems a day you could imagine how I felt 
reading untitled on one of my poems write when my computer 
shut down so I ran to the library in a blizzard to find about 
eight more read untitled by gods grace I'd copied all my work 

changed my email address and relocated contacted the business 
direct office with copies of all my poems in hand with all the titles 
this woman was very helpful and was very apologetic and apologized 
for this glitched my titles reappeared the publishing company 
offered me many offers saying I was one of their best writer's
 

this was a complete nightmare for any poet I can truly relate to 
Virginia Woolfe writing from her hospital bed in London 
her best work was with suicidal thoughts I often admired 
young poet Mattie Stepanek only seven years inspired me 
before his passing to keep writing no matter how broken 
you may be meanwhile I now embrace thee untitled nightmare
