First draft: pen to paper
Pen to paper
flowers bloom within me
I wish I could vomit bunches of daffodils for words and cry rivers and waterfalls worth of sonnets
instead I’m a dried River bed all cracked and dry
the life blood that I once supplied to the beds of greenery beside me have shriveled and fled
leaving me with just mud
dark and wet
it runs through my veins as if a constant reminder to the Gods of literature who bleed nothing but gold leafed calligraphy
of my place in their world
how no matter how much pain and suffering is spilled from this bed of a body
it will never be gazed upon by rightly scholars
