Tomorrow

The Poetry assignment for June in Deadlines for Writers was "blank."


Tomorrow

 

I sat down to write

A poem tonight.

Beautiful thoughts filled my head.

My fingers were set

On the keyboard, and yet –

Eyes drifted to window instead!

 

The sun was so yellow,

Red flowers so mellow,

Blue skies and green grass so loud,

How could I stay

Behind glass all day

Just lost in my wordy cloud?

 

So I tucked thoughts away

To spend another day.

They’re locked in my mental bank.

Tomorrow’s the time

To put them in rhyme.

For now, my paper is blank.
