Failure To Start

I would love to write for you, An epic poem about something new. Every time I search my mind, There’s nothing new that I can find. So, I’ve penned some rhyming drivel. But, before you whine, scoff, and snivel. Pay attention to the wisdom I now impart. The greatest failure of man; is the failure to start!

That's right. We don't have to finish the work necessarily; but we're not exempt from getting started --- and then, of course, it IS a good idea to finish what one starts. And Away we Write, gw

Sometimes I put down a single line and just see where it leads me. Yes you are indeed wise.
