Joseph May Poet Rhyme

A Blank Page Awaits

Suffering through the pangs of writer's block
 A blank page awaits my poetic ink
 Like a rose waiting to bloom
 The words will become the budding link
 Forming poetic petals where beauty looms

 The first letter hits the page
 And my poetic canvas will impart
 imagery and meaning, setting the stage
 For a beautiful work of art

 I plunge into the finer details
 Trying to fine tune my rhymes
 And then I will unveil
 this canvas, and my words will chime

 I gather up my words patiently
 Towards my artistic goal
 It's a joy that sets me free
 And a work of art to satisfy my soul
