The Writer's Poem


"Pencil shavings and dust,
Papers strewn about the floor,
Books lie open on the desk,
Smiles the silent keeper near the door.
What a home,
An abode to cherish,
The writer’s desk,
Ideas quickly flourish.
We sit, we sing,
We sigh, we think,
It’s the writer’s paper,
With imagination and ink.
Time is all the writer needs,
Time is all we ask,
With silent lips and ready mind,
We go about our beloved task."
