I pick a piece of paper up

I pick a piece of paper up,
(not literally nowadays you fool).
I put my pen upon its face
(that’s a metaphor for another writing tool)
and with imagined elegance and grace
scribble furiously with aplomb!
That’s if one can scribble with a keyboard,
be angry whilst being happy,
and pull a poem from where there was none.

I scratch out poems, and the odd little tale. Mostly for my own amusement.
