I may be posting this very late, but decided I did not want to miss a day of publishing something for the National Poetry Month.
A Writer Fashions Worlds
Odd creature that she is,
this writer fashions worlds,
creates fanciful kingdoms,
then plunders them,
creating mayhem among the citizens.
She plucks out the chosen few
and torments them
dealing out unsolvable woes
then splashing their joy and pain
across the inked pages
to amuse anonymous readers,
hoping amidst the debris
some astute soul will digest
the cleverly placed kernel
of life-changing truth.
