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
