Joyce Johnson Poet Couplet

Writing of Nothing

Not a single thought within my head,
My finger tips are full of lead.
I must write a poem for you to see,
The clock time is five thirty three.

I've written other poems today.
But only when I had something to say.
But I'm willing now to take a chance
And hope you'll give it a second glance

And decide that though my poem won't last,
At least I wrote it very fast.
I must admit this has been fun
And at 5:36 I find I'm done.

Tamra Amato August 17, 2009 at 3:38 AM Fun! How to make nothing into something... in three minutes! I can't believe you can do this. This makes me want to try even when nothing's there, just the blank page... Thanks for sharing this. Thank you for your congratulations on my poem and encouraging comments.
