The manuscript stretches …
it gazes over empty pens
tossed in the air like
pick-up-sticks that fall
wherever they choose:
some lie between
scrunched-up paper-balls,
others jut from
ink-blotched and
teacup-ringed mountains—
such bountiful ribbons of A4
finely shredded
by urgent fingers;
stirred up from time-to-time
to turn the crumbs,
hold the ferment off
for just a little longer.
All those words
weaving and wending
as they tumble
into the worm farm.
The manuscript looks back at me,
we smile at each other—
this chapter of our journey
is done.
It’s lovely Leonie. A final chapter of Narrator International. Farewell.
Thanks A A. As one chapter closes the next has already begun. 🙂
Hear hear!
🙂
The chapter of our jouney is done
Now to the sequel, talented people
May we successfully blossom –
Another step onto the rung…
I love your poem Leonie.
Teehee. Thanks JH – here’s to fabulous sequels all round!
love it
love it!
Thanks Demelza! 🙂
Thank you so much for this perfect closing poem Leonie. It fits beautifully and we can think of nothing better for the final page of the final book.
This is lovely Leonie. Beautifully written and so descriptive. It is the stuff of wishful thinking and determination to follow my love of writing. 🙂
