Five thoughts on writing

Words pool

Like a tag cloud

Stringing, singing

Tempting me to

Choose.

#

The lines in this journal

Promise enjoyment

But it’s a foreign language

Still.

#

Write up

Not down

The top will

Take care of itself.

. . . Nope.

#

Occasionally,

the phrases meld

the structure hardens

the characters talk.

#

I can do

laundry

And sharpen

pencils

Better than anyone

On days

I’m meant

to write.
