Poem #235 Ignis


Fingers fly across the keyboard faster than the speed of sound

as words form & disappear from the page

with a sense of urgency that is familiar to writers everywhere.

This exigency is a product of one of three possibilities;

1, an impending deadline looming

pushing the stagnant rivers of creativity

forcing them to flow.

2, a sudden strike of inspiration,

one that must be harnessed or lost.

3, a combination of 1 and 2,

adrenaline synthesizing with inspiration

distilling chaos into a masterpiece.

Every writer's dream

& nightmare.
