Words and Ping-Pong


Words in my head bounce like ping-pong balls in a closed room.

Words, on scribbled pages, hide in my journals.

Inside, I know there are poems, stories, even essays.

Clumsily penning words simple or complex, 
I try to make contact and connect, 

but ....
they take their own course,

ricocheting through lined pages.
Random wordy ideas and thoughts

fly away through open space 
before I can make sense of them.

“The task of a writer consists in being able
to make something out of an idea.”
~ Thomas Mann
