A Kiss for Luck

Writing is always fun—

no matter how much I’ve written,
I have not yet begun 

to write. I write with a pen
that’s frisky as a kitten,
making writing fun

all over again,
even when I’m smitten
with doubt that I will e'er begin

to find a sneaky rhyme,
a silly rhythm—
as much fun

as the fun you can have in bed,
I’ll say. It’s plumb Theocrítean—
I have not yet begun

to gambol on the sward.
Nymphs come unbidden.
Writing is always fun.
OK, I’m done
