I once was…

I once was a writer who wrote out of spite,
Converting the few free minutes
of long workweeks
into words.
That didn’t last.

I once was a writer who relied on a muse.
The words poured freely but rarely.
Rarer yet…
Then never.

And now I sit down
for a thousand
daily
words.
Time and again.
Habit and perseverance.

The 27th state

Florida,
The frontier of fun,
Where the fluffiest clouds,
Like fairy tale refugees,
Fill up the sky.
