Theme Emerges

Struggling.....
pouring over the words,
their meanings, the nuances and innuendos...
writing and rewriting...
eraser shnibbles all over the desk
paper rolled up into balls 
strewn everywhere around the trash
the words tumble and fall
sometimes building
sometimes crashing
a medley of rhymes and meter 
cascading over the page...
when suddenly...
a theme emerges
the words fall into place,
heart strings are tugged 
eyes begin to tear as the purity and truth
shine through in glorious retribution... 
This.... the writers final triumph.

I did mean schnibbles, meaning tiny little pieces, like the tiny bits of an eraser left on the page when you use it. :::smile:::

Sometimes poems come so easily and some time s you rightly mentioned they take so long to travel though our heart to the paper lying. And when they do...Ahhh its really a triumph. Victory of passion they say:) Lovely poem Tracy. Love, Chitra Login to Reply
