The Blank Page

I sit here looking at a blank page Inside a stay at home cage I do have my friends in my mind Role playing that I see and need to define There are no boundaries that state how close they can come That is why our literature fantasies are so much fun As they act out their story My keyboard gets a workout that is very wordy Six feet apart my characters are not When they keep me company telling me a dreamy plot There are no crowded filled arenas blocking visibility Only a conflict that to me has sensibility An empty seat between two Will bring peace not a feud Creating more space Allows the imagination to comfortably build its case Being an author is lonely and time consuming But nothing can interrupt it that could ruin it Just a feeling to share With someone out there Who may be trapped in the stay at home cage Appreciating what I wrote on the blank page

Hello Marc, O'Brien, Yes now is the best time to create poetry on a blank page when it is quiet. Best time to concentrate. Enjoy your day my friend. Be safe.
