Blank Page

A blank page
the promise of poetic reflection
no rules
no limitations
no critiques
totally personal

Does a writer use the blank page
to express his thoughts
or does the blank page
use the writer
to uncover the hidden
and explore possibilities?

The writer reaps rewards
accolades for his talent
but without the
mystery and
inspiration
of the blank page

The writer is mute
unable to share
provoke
inform
persuade
the blank page
not the writer
is the true instrument of creativity
