i drew
my bedroom curtain
this morn' and scanned
the outside world
for inspiration.
i'm stymied by writer's block,
yet I bruise
blank papers with my pen
to craft the extraordinary
out of the ordinary.
my poetic ink
is drying up, yet I feel
this gnawing yen
to keep scribbling,
to keep taking
the overlooked in nature
and beautifying it;
a leaf,
a pebble,
a crack here,
an aperture there.
i look for inspiration
close to, or confined
within my home,
worthwhile moments,
sounds,
emotions
that still gift
my imagination
wings to soar.
