How do you write something
when everything's been said?
Do you use dictionaries and a thesaurus
to enhance a knackered vocabulary?
Do you use vivid imagery as
your words are oozing from your bitten
cracked lips?
Do you dip your Zoro brush in
a palette tray choosing your brightest color,
painting the keystrokes trying
to portray the smile that wont escape your memory?
Do you take out your trusty hammer and try
to nail the syllables together hoping they form a
craftsmanship valued by others?
Whatever the process, be diligent,
under the nails, the pages, or the pen
a beautiful beginning comes together then.
