As misunderstood as they sometimes are,

pen ink and letters take the images

from my mind,

and place them on the white

of my lined paper

A phrase, an exclamation in drag,

scribbles of a sort or even quotes,

create a work of art even Picasso would envy.

From letter A to letter Z

and everything in between,

I summarize arguments and

stumble through coherent thought

letting dementia in long enough

to duel with imagination in a free for all

fight with writers block.

On occasion, I summon

my muse to play.

She graciously accepts

whispering politic and lively gossip

as my hand scribbles

the next great story, poem or quote:

starting phrase to come

right before the end.

Finis.
