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 -- 5-19-18 Theme- I Gather Up My Words Contest: Let Your Pen Drip Sponsor: Broken Wings

I think the better the poet the more we feel writers block, we seek perfection of expression. not simple words!!! Great write!
