Poetry Wednesday 2/10/2016

Hard Case

I started with nothing, 
Blank page,
Blank head,
No map.

Research, read,
Talk, ask, 
pen to paper a dozen times.

Drafts thrown out,
Ideas discarded, 
circling square one over and over.

Still, I kept going,
Writing,
Asking,
Talking.
And something clicked.
Inching forward,
Gathering snippets of thought into 
arguments, paragraphs,
pages.

Through scathing review, 
Finally, my solution 
Sees the light of day.
The decision is made, 
Analysis revealed,
At last.
