To Battle Paper With Pen

Some days you can barely squeeze out a line On others inspiration flows from recesses Divine Yet there's always that first glimpse of a completely blank page To frighten the Muse from a poet, regardless of age Only when the parchment fills up with ink, dare he think I'm proud that from the fray I never did shrink So next time you prepare to battle paper with pen Remember this poem ~ to triumph again

Yes it is so inspiring - I still write all my first drafts with pen and paper, my little notebook is getting tattered and full - and sometimes it does feel like a battle!
