Is this the first you have ever written?
Now compelled to share once you have thrown onto the page in triumph or despair.
Maybe it’s been extracted, word by word, conjuring up sentences discarded, never to be heard.
It is done, the decision made to send, yet still paused.
You leave it sitting waiting, while another cup of tea is poured.
Days later, you cast a glance once more only to be tricked into changing a word, or a line.
Send it, send it now, courage calls; it is launch time.
Your finger hits the button; too late you wonder, does it all rhyme?
It is gone!
Gathering your thoughts once more, you write your next poem, with more confidence this time.
