Empty

Empty page
Empty space
Empty mind
Empty heart
This is writer’s block
And I am
Empty
Of words.

Outrunning the Dragon

ravenswingpoetry — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 01:50:21 +0000

Sprint!
I leave the gate, running feverishly
To outrun the fire-breathing dragon

Smoke on my neck
Fire on my heels
I dash across these pages,
Running like a mad woman,

Lest the dragon-critic
GULP
Then belch forth Hell, the Inferno,
In her breath

And destroy my art
Before it leaves my pen.
