The Empty Page
The pen in my hand,
The ink in my pen,
Sought out the page;
For a place to begin.
With time ticking by,
The frustration set in.
I took a deep breath,
Counting backwards from ten.
When that didn't work,
I twiddled my thumbs.
Then tapping my temple,
Kept searching for crumbs.
It got to the point,
Where I needed a nap.
My eyes grew so heavy,
Dropped pen in my lap.
After startled awake,
It popped in my head.
So called it a day,
And went straight to bed.
