Writing poetry about writing.
The day starts with coffee and cigarettes

Whenever I rise; morning, noon, or night

Stumble to the pot, hoping it is still hot

Only then can I begin to write again



Sit at my keyboard, or with pad and pen

My mind is blank as I think what to write

This my gift as a literary slut

Dare I: fiction, nonfiction, poem or prose



Style, Form, Content, Slant and Theme - I swear

This only part of what a writer dare

Balance, proportion and pace - add disgrace

God, Grant me grace to succeed in this chase
