 The Moving Finger

“The moving finger writes, and having writ,

moves on.”--Rubaiyat Of Omar Kayyham.

Oddly but honestly, I have never experienced

Writer’s Block; perhaps it is my overarching ego.

I used to write poetry only when something in my

life moved me which created an emotional state;

anger, disgust, joy, heartache or love.

It seems my imagination is stocked 24/7. I just 

have never been blocked, except by editors,

teachers or my own blue-penciling. If anything,

my verbose scribbling constantly has to be

trimmed or shortened. Writing is one of the few

pleasures left to me at this point in my life.

Bears will hibernate

soon, like in a coma for months;

no one dies ‘til Spring.
