At Least My Thoughts Are Running Across This Paper

At least my thoughts are running across the remains of this paper

Laboring through another round of words circling inside my mind
I find, I need to take my time with writing chimes and 
poetry lines
for if I stumble across a sentence to short or to long
I might turn it around; to jingle it with a song
Damn, It's been far too long since I wrote a lick
maybe I should be beaten with a riff
Going along with my flow ; that's takin years to show
this is the first I've written...and I'm not kidding

At least my thoughts are running across the remains of this paper

At least indeed. At your best I think. Was going through my old poems and came across a comment from you on poem I wrote in 2016 called baking. I am 70 and fine after beating cancer. Our three children are settled and in good jobs, our eldest daughter is expecting identical twin boys in August. We have a five year old grandson to our younger daughter. He loves school. What have you been up to the last 8 years, Regards David in NZ
