To Write or Not to Write

Anthony13 Comments

To write or not to write

Surely a dilemma day or night.

–

To rhyme, in free verse of haiku

Just not sure what to do.

–

Finding the words that fit the best

Always puts us to the test.

–

Just like braving a wild river in a raft

With little else to fall on but our craft.

–

Syllables, rhymes, beats in mind

Putting them together can be a bind,

–

Shear determination is the rock

In the battle of writer’s block.

–

Just keep going, working hard

Hoping it’s met with high regard.

–

Ending lines, make them clean

Or else your poem will never be seen…
