THE WRITING GAME
Writing pad: check -
pen: check -
blank mind: check -
frustration: check -
-Yes, I’d like to speak
to a Poetry 911 operator…
this is an emergency!
-Poetry 911? I’m having problems
getting started on what’s sure to be
a monumental piece.
-Think of a title? OK, let’s see…
how about “MONUMENTAL PIECE”?
-OK, first line?
how does
“The dreamcatcher slipped and fell…”
-sound?
good! I’ll use it then.
Hey, thanks Poetry 911 operator,
much obliged!
-The dreamcatcher slipped and fell,
bruising cherished moments,
but was able to hold on
to his dreamcatcher’s mitt,
wiped off a few bad memories
and resumed playing the game.
-It’s a print!
