Pondering and Percolating
we writers strive to achieve our best
to bring forth what percolates within our breast
giving rise to thoughts that are eager to be
placed on paper for the world to see
at times we struggle as if climbing walls
other times we buckle when we hear the call
crying out from deep down in our bones
for sweet release, to find a new home
for the words we hear in a muffled voice
conflicted by each and every choice
of letter, syllable, comma, phrase
waiting to appear on a bare new page
we know it's hiding in that writer's womb
a seed of surprise waiting to bloom
any moment now, from dawn to dusk
pondering, percolating is a must
