My Scribe
I only thought I was blocked. Turns out
I’ve been writing all along, or rather
my subconscious has been scribbling furiously
rumination after rumination, leaving me
the task of picking through the rubble
of the crash, call it a two-tower crash,
for any signs of life, and then
leaving me the task of revival
out of that sifted rubble, turns out,
good rubble, which leads me to wonder:
what kind of good rubble can I get into?
Out of the rubble
and into my life I go.
Merrily, merrily, I go.

Love the variation on the haibun form (and the homage to John Lewis in the prose). The poem is clever and heartfelt. Who among us doesn’t have a debris field to pick through?
Absolutely what Lee said!
Wonderful word play and a great lesson/reminder for all writers!
