poet's dilemma
poet's dilemma
staring at a white sheet of paper
can be frightening to a writer
or it can bring joy
that is if the words start to flow
okay, I am staring

fingers long to write

Dream Boat
Let the dreamless boy to cry
If his wish to fly has gone

And clear his negative thought
Once he comes to hear or share
He will enjoy to dream in a boat

past unwatered acacias
where the wh...
