Literature Text

Haunted by blank pages,
   My mind reels to pick the perfect pretenses.
       To utter despair.
To be a writer is to be a storyteller
   or word weaver,
       preferably both.
I have no story, no stories
   with endings.
       I hate endings.
And I have no loom for penstrokes
   No fancy threads for my
       bare heart.
A really rough one but I felt the idea had to be put out there. The wordweaver idea comes from my college professor's comments on Homer and his description of storytellers.
