Maelstrom

A pantoum

The pen is put to the paper, there it pauses waiting for a thought.

 

The hand holding the pen goes over the sentence then places a period at the end.

 

The hand pauses unsure of the words.

 

The pen stops, the work is reviewed, then the pen moves again.

 

 

The hand holding the pen goes over the sentence then places a period at the end.

 

The ideas flow off the pen like a waterfall.

 

The pen stops, the work is reviewed, then the pen moves again.

 

On to the next page.

 

 

 

The ideas flow off the pen like a waterfall.

 

The ideas come so swiftly the pen can’t keep up.

 

On to the next page.

 

As the last idea comes to mind, the pen dies.
