They sit,

Idly,

Their hand

On the

Fancy quill

And the ink

Blotting the paper

Beneath it,

Waiting,

Hoping,

Yearning

For any sort

Of words

To appear

And

Make it whole

But alas,

The writer

Stares

At posters

On the wall

And the great outdoors

And plays melodies

In bulky headphones

To find

Some sort of

Solace

And comfort

In their mind,

Waiting,

Hoping,

Yearning

For the paper

To work its magic

And bring

Their ideas

To life
