Ode to the Blank Page

Poem

A poem . . . begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a love sickness . . . it finds the thought and the thought finds the words. – Robert Frost 

empty page, an invitation
calling on
concealed dreams
waiting for creative kiss
begging inspiration

unfilled page imaginings 
teasing hope 
inventing schemes 
pulitzer or nobel prize
daydreamy expectation

herein lies an open space
enticement
for new poetry 
fantasy or mystery
brave imagination

now an empty nothingness
here something wants to live
