Paper Airplanes

Paper  Airplanes

 

 

 

crumpled balls of paper

begin to accumulate

in my waste basket

 

day after day

they become nothing more

than unfinished attempts

at writing poetry

 

and what could have been

paper airplanes.

even when words don't find you, thoughts will. I love Paper Airplanes - it reminded me of my childhood and brought back those wonderful memories to the fore. a simple, honest write that captures the poet's mind. I like the expression here and memories it evoked, and thanks for sharing this, Kelly.

My pleasure, Abhilash. Love having you here! Thank you!

Even failed attempts are worth something, I guess. And besides, paper airplanes only crash anyway. :)

Lol, great point, Tim! But they're so much fun! Good seeing you on my page again. You were missed!

Oh no - do you have Writers Block Kelly ? We have all been thru these faĺlow times - I generally find I can manage a haiku though even then. Still a nice Piece nevertheless ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Oh no, I'm good! Someone mentioned "paper airplanes" in a poem I read, and I was inspired to write this. Just a little brevity for the day. Thank you, Tony!
