Writer

 

 

A day without taint on Moore Lake

 

Painting a field of green

With words used as paint

The Writer erupts with a flourish

Giving us a day without taint.

 

Dawn, a pastel of grey;

A hopeful shad of blue.

Written as a novel

The words showing every hue.

 

Eve, shades of pink,

Violets, orange and red.

The ending that, we know,

The author truly dreads.

 

For with the end

Surely to follow, despair comes.

The writer, though a hesitant reluctant,

Realizes his job is done.
