Discard the old
Bring in the new
Blank canvas,
Unwritten page.
Pen in hand,
Paints to colour,
Palettes of
Words and shade.
Deliberations
And splashes
Nuzzle together,
Haphazardly
Comfortable.
Nuances of meaning,
Fantasy grafted with
Reality,
Disclosing
Tones of feeling.
Unthought words,
Dabbing
Colour,
Cross-hatching,
Screening,
Revealing.
Minds exposed,
Hearts displayed,
Souls shimmering
White on white.
Overlaid with
Markings,
Pictures,
Words
We write.
Sounds like what I’m doing right now… sifting through memories, mental images, words I wrote before, new words I’m thinking of now. Trying to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Thanks for this inspirational poem 🙂
