unlikely treasures

 

 

Discarded thoughts collide, 
cast aside once too many times; 
now stride across crumpled sheets, 

 

from creative springs that rise, 
fuelling the pen and paper set alight.

Ideas once buried, now burst forth:

 

a battered note, a torn-out page, 
exploding in fervent rage... each
critic's stab, each cut so deep, 

 

pickaxes unearthing jewels, rough 
but each one worth their keep.
