Pushed into a deadline
interviewing your butt off
writing emails
editing words counting words
writing my first article
on request
putting all your heart
into this
cuz they wanted me!
little old me
then get bounced
pushed back
every month waiting
to see your own words
published in print
with pictures
you've sent
with words born from your
brain and heart
the sparkle of hope
while days sliding
to the date of release
searching from
page to page
colored pictures
stories and facts
no article
no words born from
my brain
published
disappointed, numb
hard to describe
how it feels
it's like being rejected
feeling like the last
kid of the class
that doesn't get picked
in gymclass
like the last puppy
in the shelter
left without brothers
or sisters cuz
it has a running nose
thank god for
writers block
cuz that's what I am
having when they
giving me a new deadline
they still have an article
on the shelf
an article pushed into
a deadline
the first one I ever wrote
on request...........
