WHAT TO WRITE

The yellow lined paper
and ballpoint pen
are waiting
and waiting
for a flow of
words to begin;
At my desk
i pause
and ponder
for what seems
forever
without a thought
in my head

what to write
what to write
what to write

My mind is blank
like an empty tank
ready to be filled
with something useful
to share

what to write
what to write
what to write

Stories of nature
or friendship old ?
Love and family
wealth untold.
Something lively
something bright
A Harrier hawk
taking flight, or
the soaring high
of a long tailed
kite; The cold
dark sky of
a starry, starry night ?
