This and That in Rhythm

Two short poems

Remodeled Words

by Eva G Kimble

  Building blocks
  Writing blocks
  Story arcs and antics

  What to write
  When to write
  Editing, Semantics

  Inspiration
  Motivation
  Carving out the time

  Frustration
  Re-calibration
  And penning some short rhymes

  What will my story look like?
  When all of it's said and done?

  Not frightful
  but Delightful
  Like a lovely house construction
  Finally, fully done

The Unkempt Page

By Eva G Kimble

  All the best authors 
  have scribbles in their notebooks
  I dare you to prove me wrong
  
  How do you know?
  Have you looked?
  So sure that they don't belong?

  Lines and scribbles and crossed-out sections
  or Paragraphs: copy and paste
  
  - All evidence of creative production
  Those discards don't go to waste!

  So, unless you have perfect ideas
  From the first to the very last
 
  Most authors have scribbles in their notebooks
  From thoughts and pens moving too fast
