“WRITER’S PRAYER”

[A pray of sorts from L.E. Leone.  Which sort?  Maybe my sort.  I like it—hope you do too!]


WRITER’S PRAYER


The poem I will hear
tomorrow is already losing
thread, turning

into fear. Tonight:
who leads who, voice
into attics, out
windows, through frames

into paintings where flower
petals equal golf balls

It’s raining outside
leaking in. Take me

    The poem I will hear
    tomorrow is already losing
    thread, turning

    into fear.

    To me this is such a great expression of the doubt that gnaws away at creativity.
