Writer

Am I a Writer with a capital W or a lowercase one, written in pencil?

PS For those of you who have no idea what this is about: I decided to transcribe some of the poems and ideas I wrote in the little purple notebook I keep next to my bed. 

I almost didn’t include this one, but then I decided it was a good example of things that pop into my head. Do you have an idea notebook (or like me “notebooks” plural)? What do you write in yours?

Freeflow

Why do the words flow freer when I’m tired

When I’m half asleep

Body aching, footsore from a long day of mothering.

Children clinging to my legs,

wanting me closer,

closer

Though my mind wanders,

my heart stays

with them.

And the words come in my mind,

flowing through the pencil

after bedtime.

If I knew

If I knew what you meant to her,

It wouldn’t have happened that way.

I would’ve gone without you

to another land

to another place.

Instead I stayed,

and we were never apart.

But we should’ve been.

(Like I said, these poems come to me when I’m falling asleep so I don’t always know exactly what they are about. Or if I did at the time, I have no idea now! Maybe it was a book I was reading at the time?) :) ASJK
