A Book With Blank Pages

A friend decided to write a book She chose the titled to be My Life Going to the bookstore Bought two blank books Then she rushed home She sat at her writing desk Ready to begin her story For hours sat -then wrote Some words on top of the page It was titled - My Life Now the title is written The words were needed She was so pleased To tell her life tale Two pens on the table She picked up one pen Began to write her tale The pen never stopped She wrote all evening Until her eyes tired In the morning she began To continue her thoughts Again the pen flowed Until the pen stopped Then her tale ended Tired she went to rest In the early morn sun Out there for hours asleep Feeling very drained When she awakes in the eve She felt rested- and took her book Opened it to read- the ink gone "Oh!" She said."The ink disappeared!" "I wrote my book with the wrong pen!" Now I must begin again!O-h-Oh! She groned.

Hi Darlene, She may have been sad to have lost her work but on the positive side, she got to tell her story again and perhaps even better! Happy Thursday xxoo

Hi Darlene, I enjoyed this poem. Life is like that you have to start over many times. I want to thank you for your comment of my poem Hello and Goodbye. In answer to your question it did actually happen to me and on my Birthdat too. The poem however was written many years before.
