A Perspective on Writing
by Tony Whitaker
Drifting on a sea of calm
pen silent upon the palm
Or fingers exploding across the page
like gale force winds wrapped in rage
Sail boats of wind-swept notions
sweep across cerebral oceans
White-tipped waves of hidden verse
our goal the reader to immerse
Surfing peaks of inspiration
or diving through depths of desperation
Determined not to drown in thought
allowing whatever the will has wrought
