blank pages make me outright crazy

they make me feel I have a personal duty

to fill them as so I won't be lazy

right now memories of poems past written

are hazy

this was not written to defer or daze the'

it's more like a way to fill a simple need

you'll see what I mean as you continue to read

I don't know exactly why but I do

so desperately need to write

not stemming from any negative feelings such as

jealousy or spite

but more so like, I must do this

so I don't lose my precious inner sight

I have to describe to you what I see in my mind

what wonderous and not so wonderous thoughts chase

each other about from the front to behind

when written out

these words like children help me to unwind

forever in poetry my soul is bind

my mind unclutters and clears and feels fantasticly

fresh and new

if one has the ability to write so freely

such as this

what else can one do.............
