Diamonds in the Rough

Staring at my computer

Mind spinning madly

Unable to focus 

On the task at hand. 

 

Words words words, 

All the universe is words!

I just want it to stop

For a little while.

 

Pen set against paper

Moves without permission,

Scratching lines of poetry,

Something not done in years.

 

Hey, wasn't there a site

I used to visit a very long 

Time ago, what was it called,

Postpoems? I think?

 

Check my login information,

See the singular sad

Poem left there from years

Ago, poor little Wreck.

 

Hesitantly post the new

Piece I've written,

Deciding on a name was

Relatively easy.

 

Much to my surprise

Someone commented on it,

Saying that they loved it.

(I'm still a little shy.)

 

Bolstered by courage but

Unable to find words adequate

Enough with which to reply,

I continued to write.

 

So thank you, dear Diamond,

For leaving kind comments

Behind on the poetry of

A girl unsure of her talent.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I don't think I would have had enough courage to continue posting my poetry.

I feel I should say, "No, thank you", but I've no wish for it to keep cycling around endlessly. And I've no intention to stop writing anytime soon, between yourself and the esteemed Mam'selle Lady A, I have no lack of inspiration.
