- C. J. Black
Once you write the first word down you are on your way
You will find it gets so much easier once you have something to say
There is no one but you knows that it’s been weeks since you’ve dipped your quill
But now that you’ve dipped it in ink it will do your will
So knuckle down there’s work to do you have a poem to write
It’s time to forget that holiday and put this wrong to right
It matters not if it’s convoluted and is not making a whole lot of sense
At least you’re taking positive steps and not sitting on the fence
The light bulb, has once again began to shed its light
The jigsaw is beginning to take shape, be upbeat not contrite
Finish now if you wish – you have your mojo back
This was what you’d class a derailment of sorts but now you’re back on track?
Ok I’ll admit it, this has not been an easy time
I am not wholly satisfied with this effort, but at least there’s a semblance of rhyme?

Ah thanks Fransi, I am one of these persons who need to shut down occasionally and walk away – now I have a lot of catching up to do – you would enjoy the freedom of the Sahara – if you have not already visited.
Chris.
