I offer my sacrifice.
A few words, written on
the spur of
the moment,
or pondered for days
on end.
Rhyming verses,
silent curses,
what's much worse is....
blank
verse
stanzas
toiled over,
re-worked,
waking in the night
to write another thought
however trivial.
I offer my sacrifice.
Oh, you gods of Writewords,
take me as I am,
poet inferior,
ego superior,
motives ulterior,
just take me!
I offer my sacrifice.

A swift response to that which is swiftly begotten! It's brilliant, incidently.
'Oh, you gods of Writewords,
take me as I am,
poet inferior,
ego superior,
motives ulterior,
just take me!'
- superb!
See! Poems don't need to be toiled over, this is hot off the press, and great (and inspired by something said by ME! Which of course is excellent)! Weeeeee for heathen gods. And for Joanie. And for snow.
Bye!

Just noticed: Only two comments had been made on other people's stuff before this raised it's head. That is reaaaallly fast. You must have, like, flamey fingers by now or something.

joanie this is cool. It's nice when the words just flow out of your head onto the paper or pc, rather than 'pondering' and 'toiling' over them. I like the theme of 'offering your sacrifice' and the spacing you used with the 'blank verse stanzas' lines works well when I read it, seems 'sparse', if you know what I mean. I laughed at the 'waking in the night' lines, I think we'll all have done that before now and will do again no doubt. Sexy plea at the end too, 'just take me!', those three words we all long to hear! Haha! Nice works, again!
Thanks
Don
