a bit o me poetry

[RipperRoo]

fluffy asked to read some more of my musings - so here's one called the blank page

The blank page

The blank page; virgin white and waiting for words.
What power we have over this realm.
Will it be filled with joy or touched by tragedy?
None but the muses know this answer.

So full of possibility this page,
Will it enrich the mind?
Or bring pain to its reader
Tormented by the words it may contain.

Could love blossom from this page?
Words of passion to ignite desire
Or will passions flame be snuffed out
Tears of farewell ending love.

Is hope its destiny?
Requests made of another for rescue,
Assistance in time of desperate need,
Or will hope be dashed by cutting remark.

Now this page has been filled
And sadness is all that’s left
For its future is set in ink
Its destiny decided.

sometimes you write the first line and the pen just seems to carry on for you; heres another one for ya:


I’ve got an address

I don’t live there, and it’s only a small place
Just two megabytes
But you can write to me wherever I am
And I can write back.
No longer will I receive your birthday wishes two months late
Important family news need never be delayed
Be it good or bad.

How much do I pay in rent?
Nothing
It’s completely free
For my address isn’t bricks and mortar
My door key is a password
It is the virtual world I have an address in
I enter it for free for half hour a day at my local library
I can pay to stay longer if I have a lot to say
Half hour is usually enough for me to say hello and stay in touch.

It may only be an email address
But, I’ve got an address
And until I get one in the real world
I guess the internet is where I live.
