WORDS OF THE LIVING

(WRITER'S BLOCK)

For Al_kafii

Tell me brain
What am I, to write today?
I try to form a rhyme
To no dismay
Something short, something sweet
Or how the lambs, do bleat

The sounds of a scraping shoe
Or All the things I've yet to do
Maybe, painting a garden fence
Or perhaps, something a little more intense

A light serving
People observing
Or instead
The thoughts inside my head

The smell of sweet perfume
In turn, the swish of a kitchen broom
The touch of a smooth stone
Or a teacher's dreadful drone

The taste of a ripe raspberry
Or the journey on a ferry
The rolling hills
Or art stills

Or we could do it all
Every line, every scrawl
