Writing Is

A poem of procrastination

Writing is more than fun

More than hard

More than yielding.

More than essential.

~

Writing is breath

and muttered oaths

seasoned with tears.

It's sleepless nights

screaming into the world in a mighty whisper.

~

It's procrastination

and plan-changes

to capture the elusive threads

then aching for any response.

~

Joy. Pain. Effort.

Immortality

~

Written whilst I was writing something else. As one does.
