Debra,
This poem tells of the time you take to get ideas under control so you can write them down. Sometimes it does seem the mind is trying its best to throw you off. The paper is always there waiting though. I like the personification. I like the color scehme. It is the black and white of the paper and the print.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Lulube
you did so well expressing writer's block. Why? because youy express yourself well and you gave yourself a subject. Delve into your subjects not yet touched. Maybe a dream about who you thought you'd become when you were a little girl. Who you have become or who you still want to be. just for a suggestion.

I like your use of personification of the words and the page and good use of alliteration. It's good that your pages know how to wait - I think I'm too impatient and would slap those words into place. Lol. Best wishes in the contest and great theme!

The turmoil of words
awaits the hand of Debra
to fashion their shape
and, lo and behold, that's exactly what you've done! Bravo! A five-seven-five to be proud of.

Hello Debra,
Writer's block can be the worst! I've often heard that you should just start writing something and magically an idea will come to you. I guess that's so, but I've never really tried it. I'd rather have the idea first. I love the last line. Well done.
Have a blessed day.

Deb,
hahahahaha Love that huge blank white page! That says it all, huh? But then I read your very cool poem - and THAT definitely says it all. I like the creativity here and the unique way you've expressed things. Great job!
