I wrote no poems yesterday;
my mind was somewhere else.
It mostly minded you, Ms. Mystic,
and thought of little else.
My pen and paper hesitation
came from your superb self.
Words scratched out -- Nouns and Verbs --
because none of them quite work.
Imagination -- the one true author --
speaks no lies to me.
She describes you in elegant tongues
telling no one what I see.
