A writer plants thoughts
But brain drought often invades
And the story dies.
Determination
Drives the writer to rethink
Sowing seeds for a new plot.
Like a sprouting seed
The writer’s ideas blossom
Into a garden of words.
Thought weeds take over
And slowly choke the story
The writer must hoe.
Frustration sets in
And ideas are grafted
Amended thoughts sown.
Dense as morning fog
The writer’s mind is boggled
But he perseveres.
Ever so slowly
The thoughts expand and mature
Into full blossom.
Apprehensively
And tentatively hopeful
He tends to the plot.
Details are added
Weeding and watering done
The word garden blooms.
Satisfaction felt
Then nagging doubts develop
Like thunderstorm clouds.
Lightning bolts of thoughts
Present new word weeds to hoe
Lest they overtake the plot.
The storm is over
The writer is satisfied
The word garden’s ripe.
Picking his market
The writer gleans the comments
Eager to improve.
Is it clear enough
Is it colourful enough
Will it be picked first?
Doubt and pride mingle
But the writer’s ego wins
Doubt stomped to the ground.
Gratification
Long awaited and desired
New seeds of thought sown.
The writer can’t quit
It’s inbred in his nature
He is born to write.
