Pac-Man Writing
A poem about the writing process
Lost, in a maze,
Writer’s block for days.
Idea pops into mind,
The words, I’ll try to find.
Fingers start to fly,
Stagnant feeling starts to die.
Small step, by step, more text,
There’s a big time breakthrough next.
Chasing the next sentence,
It won’t escape my presence.
Turn a corner yet once more,
Slam my head into a door.
Stuck once again.
Counting down from ten.
Patience I’ll try to find,
But this wears upon my mind.
Time is chasing me,
The finish I wish to see.
Writing’s like a game.
No two pieces are the same.
Playing until the end,
No more prose once I am dead.
My name on the high score,
People wishing I’d written more.
Future readers I hope will find,
This work I’ve left behind.
I’ve enjoyed hours of pursuit,
I’ve caught a lot of fruit.
This game has been fantastic,
The chase was quite dramatic.
Writing has truly become my friend,
I’ll continue ‘til my game-over end.
