What am I doing now? Do you think it will wow? It is something I do a ton off. I do it, push comes to shove. Not sure I shove much though. I may shove the laptop off Pat's lap to create room or just be a foe. Okay, back on to task. Do you have to ask?
In the dim lit room,
With dust bunnies in need of a broom,
A half naked person stares,
Which could turn into glares.
The screen glows bright.
The fingers then ignite.
Type and type they do.
Some words may = poo.
But stave editing off.
The fingers won't scoff.
They'll type and type.
Forget things like Skype.
Chapter marker makes a stop.
This morning wasn't a flop.
Time to go and eat.
Maybe feed the cat a treat.
Time to watch some TV.
The computer is calling me?
Yeah, cute cat videos need a watch.
Oh, where is that scotch?
It's not even noon?
I can listen to many a tune.
The ideas will just flow.
Much later, I know.
May as well shower.
Use up a little power.
Eat another time or two.
Time I stuck to the keyboard like glue.
Staring at the screen.
It may need a clean.
Later it will get a wipe.
Arm works for a swipe.
If only there was a sleeve.
Sleeves are a pet peeve.
Need to focus on the screen.
Tomorrow it will get a clean.
Cursor is just a blinking.
Time to get to thinking.
Next chapter header complete.
Fingers and keyboard now must meet.
Familiar to anyone? I figured I'd give ode to the writer a run. The cat watches Pat do it all the time. Although I can't say he stares at the screen like a mime. Those fingers on that one hand don't stop. They bop bop bop. The cat would rather nap than write all day. How you writers do it beats me at my bay. I'll go back to napping and passing gas. It is so much less stressful for my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.
Cat!
ReplyDeleteHow that kitty mat?
Always good when a morning's not a flop
DeleteWhen Pat's back on top
Typing away at his sea
In the place to be
No money tree to help him out
Might want to shout
It can make a person feel good
In any neighborhood
Maybe The Cat can earn a buck

I have been far from the zone and avoid the computer like a lazy cat
ReplyDeleteFar far away
DeleteHeat came to play
Can’t picture Pat
ReplyDeleteStruggling like that
With all the books he’s done
For him writing must be fun
Fun it is indeed

Write and Write Day or Night
ReplyDeleteIn front of the screen bright
All the time

Ah, to write or not to write...that is the question...but not sure I would do it half naked especially when there are claws around
ReplyDeleteThat is kinda true
DeleteBut the main parts are covered from his claws view lol
Don't write on the computer
ReplyDeletebut on it all day long

DeleteThe things we do at our feed
Give your brain a reboot. Get out of the house! Go to a pet rescue place. See a movie. Go on a date!
ReplyDeleteReboot.
haha at dating I truly and uttering suck
DeleteAnd all day I'm out of the house in a stupid truck
Writers think even when they're not officially thinking
ReplyDeleteI've seen scraps of napkins, receipts, paper towels and more with ideas on them, in the home of a writer. :)
Whenever one pops in
DeleteHave to write it down so one can give it a spin
Great poem ......I was unable to write whether day or night,
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad it is grand
DeleteHere in my land
Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteLook at thee
With as prolific as you are with both books and blog posts, your fingers must spend a lot of time flying over the keyboard. For me, it's easier to do the initial writing in longhand, scribbling and changing as I go. Then I transpose it onto the computer for editing. For some reason, I can think better with a pen and pad than I can at the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteSorry my review put your keyboard in danger. :)
Damn, I would never ever be able to do that
DeleteMy handwriting would make things kinda fall flat
lol it survived in the end
No water spittle did offend
orlin N cassie; de nice thing bout ritin stoooopid $hitz like we due...when we run outta it; we can all wayz look ta reed a bull for stuffz ta rite bout ~~~~~ ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteCan just get it done
DeleteA trout towne run
Orson occasionally gets upset if he wants food, or to be let out, when I'm in the middle of some computer project. My computer chair is right near the foot of my bed, so he usually jumps onto the bed to let me know he wants me to take a break to deal with his problems.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they sure try
DeleteAs the fingers fly
Look and look and walk right across
Can't let you sit there and grow moss
Mornings are my time to write.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the day I can get nothing right.
Have to write away
DeleteThe morning then is where it should stay
Can't believe how many of these poems you can write. I am definitely not a night writer.
ReplyDeleteThey just flow
DeleteEasy peasy at our show
I am not a writer, but I do get in that zone when it comes to photo editing. Before I know it, hours have passed by.
ReplyDeleteSure can fly by
DeleteAs we have fish to fry
