The Poet

The  blank paper  blatantly  lies  on my  desk, 
Querulously  staring  at me, 
Seemingly  not  getting  far  enough  fast  enough, 
Distinctly  posing  as a scratch and  sniff. 

My  itchy  pen  lying  beside the  paper, 
Full  of  words  and  raring  to  go, 
The  meniscus  not  showing  even  an  ounce  of movement, 
I  can hear the  hidden voices in  the  ink.
