Sequence-A Poet's Lament

A
crackle
of dead wood-
an unfinished
book,
as
driftwood
on the strand,
beginnings no
end-
in
timeless
tedium
of paralysed
thought

That is bad to have paralized thought. I like the crackle of dead wood and the unfinished book. Keep writing. Sara

Such an apt description of that place that all writers dread.....adrift in a sea of paralysed thought. Well said, Brian!!
