Val Brooklyn Rogers Blk Panther Poet Prose

I Say An Idle While

Here I sit 
Pen In hand
I wish to write superbly.

If only I were deserving
With insurmountable perfectionism.
And receiving copious AWARDS.

Walking away with a glow in
My cheeks.  
How else do I compete.
Meek ME.
Awards seek me.

The tone of the writing should
Land softly at the beginning.
That can be perfected.
It can be quite disturbing.

If I were the pen of a 
Wizard how would I plan such 
A feat.  
If I can. I wish to write 
UNNERVING.
I say I wish to write an idle
While.

Filling my head with 
Tranquil thoughts and 
Favored flavored verbs
And contrary to popular
Belief.
I do take and preserve. I would 
Seize the opportunity to follow
The lead of Emily Dickinson and
Frost.  Who ever is  BOSS.

More than  words can say, I get 
Criss crossed. I say every TIME
I fumble is a learning experience.
I say I'm better for it.

Such as day LEARNING from night.
There is no better teacher than
Your self.
Or let the public decide.  And I will
Take an idle while to HONE my skills
Adequately  making time for 
Reflection.
