The Last Line

This poem is driving me crazy!
I want to get it just right!
I’ve gotten up quite early.
I’ve stayed up late at night.
It’s haunting me throughout the day.
It’s tauntingly just out of reach.
There’s a phrase I need here and there,
and it’s nagging me like a leech.
I ought to just rip it to shreds
and resume my life as before,
but I’m afraid as soon as I do,
the last line will waltz through the door!

Michelle Faulkner Date: 12/10/2018 1:13:00 PM I'll share a little secret - sometimes I write the last line first! And then write the rest in reverse! Login to Reply P.S. Awtry Date: 12/10/2018 1:29:00 PM Thank you, Michelle!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 12/10/2018 7:53:00 AM I can so relate to this! If i told you how many times I wake up, thinking of exactly the right line and LOSE it before I can jump out of bed, you would feel exhausted. Login to Reply P.S.
