A Poem On Demand

Here I sit,
Pen in hand.
Writing solely,
On demand.

What will flow,
Through the ink?
No time,
For my brain to think.

No phrase nor thought,
Runs through my head.
"Write Now!"
The contest title said.

So here I sit,
Pen in hand.
A poem,
Written on demand

(Immediately after I finished reading)

Demands are hard. There is a powerful difference in having something to say and having to say something. You did a very good job here handling the situation. Keep writing. Sara
