 I

read this writing prompts blog every day. but I rarely take the time to follow through and write something because I rarely if ever have the time.  Lately I am prompted to write because I have been largely inspired by this great guy who contacted me last week.  His writing is the type that makes my little poet corner of my heart sour.  He’s amazing…and to think I didn’t know he existed over a week ago.  I didn’t ask Scott  if I could link him but I am linking because you shouldn’t really be missing out on his poetry.  Don’t you like my assumptions?  I know I do.  Today’s writing prompt was

Write a short poem using the following words:

tab
caps lock
shift
control
enter
backspace
end
delete
home
insert
page
up
down
escape

Love is still my novelty

I lean back in my chair disgruntled
by the constant dilemna
Sticky caps lock = writing block
I begin typing my bestseller brought
home by the fact that I can’t escape
I slink up and down my ideas
on the page, yet feelings are too full to drain
Insert the good and delete the bad I think
Of…of you
my sense of control whispers out of the room
I write…
tab, clickety, tab, space, backspace, pause…
I shift, in my chair that is to say
my keys stick as I enter one thought
You…the beginning
My first departure from the end
My escape from fear
The words now flow
because
of
you, you, you
