"Just get out,

"You'll feel so much better.

"It's easy,

You say.

When here

I am

in the darkness

trying to scale

the mountain

towards the

light.

Remember to post an original poem every Friday. Here it comes - the good, the bad and the ugly. 

Writing

All begins as seeds,

The idea of the thing, a ghost -

nothing but a shape

to be fleshed out with 

words, and words, and words. 

Every Friday, post a poem. Only rule is that the poem must be original.  Get ready for the good, the bad and the ugly...

Buttermik biscuits 

You forgot your apron again,

and now flour handprints

have made their mark.

And in the oven-

heated with mathematical precision

your love rises

to golden perfection.

Remember the challenge is to post an original poem every Friday. 

The first word 

on a 

blank page

I hope

leads to others

that I can be

proud 

of

Squirrel by Sally Alexander

Squirrel, have you

forgotten

where you 

stored your nuts?

Is that why 

you

race

across my

lawn?

Or are you being 

Chased

by more than

a

memory?
