Time To Write

It's time to write
my duty calls
Oh look there's something
on the wall
Never saw that spot before
I'd better clean it
such a chore.

It's time to write
put pen to page
Time to speak
the words of the sage
Oh wait what's that
my birdie dear
A dirty cage
can't have that here

It's time to write
with deep emotion
Your imagination
is boundless
just like the ocean
Oh but what do we
hear now
What is that ringing
 buzzing sound
The phone for me
a conversation
so many distractions
are here today
Guess I'll write
another day

Not Writing

Not writing about the weather

Not writing about the day

Not writing about the weekend

Not writing about a play

Not writing about anything in particular

I've nothing in particular to say

Not writing anything spectacular

as nothing spectacular's happening today

Not writing anything prophetic

no inspiration here

Not writing about hopes and dreams

Not even writing about fear

Not writing to find inner peace

or to make the demons cease

Not writing for a reason

Not writing of the season

Not writing words of wisdom

as today I'm not a sage

Not writing for any purpose

than to put words on the page
