Blank Books

by Joe Cramer

I am always ready
To pen a word or two.
After so many long years
Of filling napkins, scraps of paper
Jotted down in darkened halls
I finally learned the lesson
And began penning words into
Blank books.

Blank books?
What an arcane thought!
How could a book be a book
If it is blank?
I am always ready
To pen a word, or two,
Or two thousand
Into a blank book.

Hi Joe, writing, putting words in a blank book. After that it's no longer a blank book. Cause ya have your writings in them. Good one. :)
