SUCH A WONDER


SUCH A WONDER

I stared
At this
Page 
Snow white
Blank...
I willed 
Myself 
To
Think
Of something
To scrawl...

Anything 
At all!

Words took
Off
In a hurry
And sentences
Joggdd...

I called after
Them
To please stay
That I might 
Put them
On the page...

It stayed blank
Though
However much
I tried
To write
A story
World!

Then
After a
Half hour
I put my 
Pen down
Wirb a frown...

And lo!
The page
Stood blank
No more
There, upon it
Were all 
These lines
And words!
