In the Abyss…
some days
writing a poem
is like building
a house
from a deck of cards
in an earthquake zone –
as there’s no way
it will come together
and stay

I agree on the fact that at times it's really hard work! I enjoyed the simile you created, Eleanor! Beautiful image conveyed through your words!

So true Eleanor, at times even harder than building a house, but it is
ReplyDeletealways worth it, to writers satisfaction.
