Do you think that you can’t write a verse
Free or formed, a villanellse or song
Do you fear the end , so feel accursed?
The first words are banana,gold and terse
Start from that new sentence on your tongue
Do you think that you can’t write a verse?
Bananas ,phallic symbols, unrehearsed
What you write is almost never wrong
Is you fear the end be not accursed
Golden is the joy when we’re immersed
In the company that knows our tongue
Do you think that you can’t write a verse?
My lover speaks but he is often terse
He prefers to use a gesture not a word
Is you fear the end you’re not the first
In the mind float symbols , gold, absurd
Metaphors that hunger to be heard
Do you think that you can’t write a verse?
If you fear the end , we’re here at worst
How my heart sings 
Thanks,Syd.I am thinking about a friend who would like to write but feels a bit nervous about it.I know what it’s like because I like art but when I sit down with the blank paper I feel quite anxious.But when I tried to draw and paint what I did was not too bad considering I’d never done it before.There are lots of very good amateur artists who don’t know they are.There were several in my class.Katherine
That one is fun and true.
