Late Night

I saw, the soda in the fridge.

Ready to strap down, and start again. 

Every word lied across that page.

It was worth money, fast and clear.

So if I were to finish fast,

I would get payed no doubt about that.

What to do with the money but spend,

spend it on the one I love again.

Author's Note

It's like five in the morning I've been up for some time debating finishing my writing commissions. This new story the person is paying me $50 dollars for it but it's so hard to buckle down and just DO IT!

Riv, You newly-formed style of writing continues to show how you have matured as a writer, crossed that threshold into the time when writing kid stuff is still fun to do but this kind of writing seems just so much more natural. Keep it up, you're doing great. take care...dan

nice little poem, but you should spend the bucks on yourself, they are earned hard enough. Take that from a wise old owl ...

This is like the other cycle of life, great piece, sometimes you
just can't let it go, nicely told Mr. RIV. Thanks.

That feeling when you sit with the work out in front of you but for some reason you just can't lift a finger to do it. I've been there so many times, it's hard to find something to make you want to do it. A good interpretation of this feeling! :)

More power to you in writing under pressure. Good luck with that. Cute piece though.

Sometime hard to buckle down. I do like the thoughts and goal of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
