The First Page
by Sarah Brindell
It’s always a daunting thing
those lonely initial few words
engulfed in the bleach whiteness
of the paper
Thin lines invite as well as discriminate
In your party of potential catch phrases
that drip wit and seethe poignancy
Don’t say something
meaningless or ignorant
but truthful.
Bring out the truth.
And let’s please silence
that annoying little animal called “fear”,
who is so inclined
to nip at the back
of your muse’s neck
on the first page
of your blank book
