Blank Pages

 

I often wonder

Does your waste bin

Ever truly overflow

With the countless

Crumpled corpses

Like mine does daily

Mid drafts of

Discarded would be

Poems

Mine always seems

To do just that these days

 

I wonder

Do you anguish

Over blank desolate and

Desperate sheets

While your coffee grows

Cold

And ever more

Despondent

While

Once bright memories

Fog opaquely

 

I wonder

Do you ever consider

Throwing in the towel

Or surrendering

Gracefully to me 

The knowing would

Indeed be

A fine thing and most

Worthy of at least

A senryu surely…....
