Pause

Occasionally, opportunities arise in which poems written by insignificant, awkward, tall, blonde bloggers can be submitted to a college literary magazine.

Occasionally, a poem that was submitted to a college literary magazine

         Is selected. And, perhaps, receives a bronze metal, of sorts. 

         Enjoy.

Pause

Pause, momentarily,

While I fill the page with words.

(All nonsense, really)

Play the apathy-prose, please

And notice the chortling rays.

Stop, indefinitely, sighs of matter

But leave the cherished wind-blown aside.

Forward to the unabashed

While I pen uncertain notions

Re-wind the unwound, now

To record the unafraid,

Although in empathy,

They lie, trembling.
