Day 6 Journal Challenge: Ode to a Blank Page
Since I found no prompt today, this is what my muse came up with considering that I have two hours before going to work and I still have to put water in the radiator.


The page lays before me
embryonic perfection
marked by word, phrase, line or stanza.

How am I to fill this page?

What am I gong to write?

My inner critic is rolling on the floor laughing
and tell my muse it's impossible
an author can't write to a blank prompt.

My muse just looks at him
she know better,
but refuses to voice her opinion
because it will bring on an argument,
after all my inner critic has made up his mind
and neither logic nor fact will change it.

My muse takes a deep breath
and begins to compose
an Ode to a Blank page;
true it doesn't rhyme
and odes should rhyme
so maybe we will have to rewrite,
but that's OK.

Rewriting will come later
now we just need to get it written
and posted.

If this isn't the intended prompt
then we will simply write another
Day 6 Journal Challenge response.
