#socs #page

It’s the quandary of any writer – professional or otherwise
brace yourself – a blank page
if you have a prompt – well that’s a start
but if you haven’t – you’re falling on that part of your mind that
invents and creates
inspiration from the things around you
what’s that bird that’s just flown by
the animal that’s just scampered through the back yard
chased by the spotted moggy from across the way
that’s dived out of the way of the bin man
his amber lights flashing past the window
as he feeds his hungry trash collector
you can hear it chomping beyond the double glazing
before the refuse team get back in their cab
and the trash collector heads off for another snack
as for our furry friend – she’s pawing at the neighbours door
where fish awaits for breakfast
Come to think of it – its time for a little something
As for the page – its full
(and you said you couldn’t come up with anything!)
