A Trio of Tweets Relating To Writing

in the corners of my mind
dusty piles of letters
	   and words
I’m trying to sweep
into a manageable
             meaningful
	          mass

*

raindrops
like inked letters
falling through mind
onto page

*

SUNLIGHT

primary cause of melanomas

activating limbs
while evaporating words
before they touch the page

a double curse
really

I like all of these. I have know a number of people who have had melanoma/s and one has died from its effect. I especially like the first one if only I could sweep my thoughts into something meaningful onto the page. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

I love the Trio relating to writing, Scott. I too have been trying for days sweeping words to gather for poems, but they just don't want to be laundered out so I can get back to a peaceful setting.
