Until Then

Unwritten words, all yearn for my pen
Notepad, stares at me, blankly again 
Table top, gives me the side-eye sken
Ideas from who knows where, or when
Look at me to make some amends 

Take a beat, all my lyrical friends
Haiku and Rondeau, verses I’ll pen
Evening will come, between six and ten
Nothing will spoil, please wait until then.

I was intrigued by the title, so I had to read your acrostic poem. I'm glad I did because I love the humor and sarcasm you conveyed through the thoughts that I'm sure many of us poets have had.

Martin, the way you personify the writers accessories and equipment makes me smile. Acrostic is not so easy but you make it seem so. Thanks for commenting on mine today and keep up the great work...smiles!!!!

Thanks Duke, I have really got into acrostic verse & personification lately, so really appreciate the positive feedback. Best regards!
