A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Estimate of the Writing Blues

 

 

i drove my Lamborghini inspiration

into a wall of thought

paid a lot for that ride

and now my words are in the shop

 

but the service dude

sadly suggests

that my theme

may be totaled

 

and if he can fix it

it may cost more than 

my indigent mind can afford ----

You are welcome sir Jacob.
Whether it be the repair shop or an affair of the heart, it pretty much goes without saying that the final bill is always higher than the estimate.

Keep that motor running jacob. :))
