Words worth

A few years ago I was suffering from a mild case of writer's block and gave up on writing poems. A friend recognized this and left me a note that said:

What do pesky friends
know how a verse ends?
You see even I
want to try
to write (like thee)
with a bit of symmetry.
So isn't it time
to sharpen your quill and write and rhyme?

Having absconded from this blog for months, I am (once again) inspired by these words to resume my writing. I have transitioned away from Morgantown, with a heavy heart, and am in the heartland of America. The distances to familiar places may have increased but the scope to explore new areas has many advantages. Suddenly, like the Midwest, the possibilities seem endless.
