WHITE NITE

MIGHTY WHITE, NITEY-NITE

Ummm! Wow! A white page! 
All white!
All night!
Maybe by morning chucked-up,
full of quotes, wise sayings, 
smiles, tears, 
thoughts, dreams, 
hopes, fears...

But page (and me) still fucked up.
Page remains white
And it is still night.

Gotta sleep now! When I am tucked up
in the bed
it shall be
as I said,
Ahhhhhh...such delight!

Whatever I never wrote
was for someone else to read
--sorta like a grounded flower
having bloomed her lovely seed

...POOF!

    1. Brian, that's why you are so likeable: YOU can find something to like in a pile of horse manure!!!!

      (Horse manure will even kill weeds--idea for new business?)

  3. Don't mind me but evrything I appreciated were lost with the expletive. I really do not understand why that should be used in poetry or writing. I understand that some women can say that word with grand fashion, especially if it was most unexpected! :) Tsup!

    1. Conversation:
      "Mommie...what's an 'expletive'?"

      "Dear, it is what before was a "pletive!"

      "Oh!"

    1. OMG! Did I leave that word in there? It's what happens when I try to write something at 1:00 AM...and have to get up at 5:20 AM...Sheeeesh!
      I apologize here now...even though nobody will read it--grin!

  5. I find a white sheet irresistible, but then I don't live from my writing.
    Mostly I love new mornings too.Nights can be a mare.
    Btw. I learned from my granddad, former dragoon and gardener, that horse manure is the roses best friend. You have to mix if with soil though, not suffocate the rose with ..love.

    1. YESSS! THAT'S the key. Mix it with soil. SO much of the "bad" stuff is good, just for cutting the ingredients...you are nice to come here, Felisol. Thanks!
      PEACE!

  7. A white page can be haunting... and taunting.

    1. "Taunting"! I like that, as if a blank page just will not leave us alone, until we begin to write on it. YESSSS!

  8. That blank white page is a challenge for me Steve ~ That last verse of being a seed spoke to me ~

    Thanks for dropping by D'verse OLN ~

  9. this made me smile while I read it. It's good to not write anything and then still write something.

    1. As a child, I wanted to be an inventor. So I gathered a pile of (throw-away) materials, and then--looking at the array of possibilities in front of me, said, "NOW! What shall I invent?" HAHAHAHA!

  10. But a white page has so much potential! It has so much it wants to say yet. There's something beautiful about a white page.

    Happy Sunday. :)
