Words to Paper
This is where I am supposed
to write about anything
About something that says
nothing
I feel the pen in my hand
It just taps the desk
This is where the pen tip
should be touching paper
The ink should be gliding
across the page
Letters should be forming
words
From my thoughtÕs ideas
should be written
Thoughts building the
ideas
That say something about
nothing
This is where poetry forms
When those nothing thoughts
become something
When the pen stops tapping
When the letters form words
When the words start to say
something
Rather than nothing
Thoughts on paper
Written
