Jam Jacko Poet Light Verse

I Stare Blankly At the Page

I stare blankly at the page
not knowing what to say
i have thoughts and themes swirling away
but i still sit here, staring blankly at the page

I'm used to knowing, what to write
my fingers move before Ive typed
a beginning and ending all within sight
yet today i sit here, staring blankly at the page

a classic a one off anything will do
should i write about love my life or about you
soul searching looking for that missing clue
no luck so I'm stuck, staring blankly at the page

how to start how to end
cross it all out an start again
how to show my heart with a leaking pen
so yet again I'm here, staring blankly at the page

my pen is broke, my PCs crashed
my papers wet, my style is trash
my hopes & dreams, crumble burn into ash
and as time past, I'm still here, staring blankly at the page

Doris Culverhouse March 31, 2010 at 6:43 AM enjoyed reading especially like the last lines, did you mean her? or here? I know about staring at the page, too. Wanting to be brillant. But dumb Sissy comes out.
