January #BlogBattle: Blank
All too often, I sit with a blank pad on the arm of my chair
Pencil poised, waiting for inspiration to strike
Today, I wondered about the substance of me
My true colours
I am a little afraid to look too close
As I have no wish to add to my long list of faults
I am sure many of us, on looking,
Would find we are not as nice or kind as we could be
With each new year, I tell myself
I will try harder, do better
If it were down to a panel of four with a red buzzer,
you would hear this awful sound … Ah Arr
There is one thing I am hoping for
My muse to wake from her long sleep
As I haven’t heard from her for a long while
When it comes to a new book, I like writing titbits,
however I miss the challenge of a long story
Meeting new characters, living their lives page by page
Wondering each day what they will come up with
To fill the blank pages
My fingers are crossed for 2021
Maybe I should uncross my mind
Fill that blank space with wonder…
