The Poet's Boneyard

My desk is littered with paper scraps
hieroglyphically etched
in creative enthusiam;
a folly of words, incomplete,
beginnings without end and
concepts cast adrift
by the incoming tide of new thoughts.
I place them in a tray labelled,
the poet's boneyard
for future salvage.

  3. Thank you both for looking at my stones and for your comments. One never looks for comments, but it is so nice to receive them serendipitously.

For some reason I'm yet to fathom I'm unable to reply to comments left by others so thank you for dropping by and taking the time to read and comment. Merlene
