Writers, start your engines
On your mark…
Wait!
The ink is low, I’m out of dough
I’ve lost my muse, not paid my dues
I’m stuck on pause, too many flaws
I’m on my knees. Do-over…PLEASE!
Get Ready…
I’m sick, I’m weak, can’t make the leap
My stomach’s turned, my candle’s burned
Can’t do it now, do not know how
I must confess there’ll be a mess.
Get Set…
The deadline looms but nothing blooms
What made me think I would not blink
When challenge came and called my name?
I cry, I plead, I sweat, I bleed
Go…
Push comes to shove with edit’s glove
I wail, I gripe…but still I type
Through tears I sail, just sure I’ll fail
But once begun it’s soon all done
Full Circle
It’s in on time, things work out fine
I did my best and passed the test
My story’s told, and even sold
I smile, I cheer, and then I hear
Re-Wind: On your mark…
Wait!
I might have known my cover’s blown
Man…this is tough, they want more stuff
I re-ignite and dare to write
Though rest-assured I’m more matured
Another trial confronts my style
Not scared to try a bar set high
I plunge right in to start my spin
Bring on the test, I’m feeling blessed
There’s no debate, I must create
It’s from my heart, it’s for my art
So round and round it goes and goes
And where I’ll stop…God only knows.

2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
