Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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
