Happy New Year!

Hard drive jive

My hard drive crashed

The computer is slop

I now get to buy

A new laptop

Good new even so

The files were saved

The novel wasn't lost

My writing unscathed

It couldn't have happen

At a worst time

Many things to do

Many plans on line

Might be a bit

Depends on the man

Be back on line

As soon as I can

Rest with the Angels, Mom

Gatekeeper

There, but unwanted
You prevent
The pearl of a thought
From appearing

There, but unwanted
You screen
The kernel of an idea
From emerging

There, but unwanted
You trap
The sentence, yet unwritten
From radiating

There, but unwanted
You censure
The flow of creativity
From right brain

Gatekeeper,
Who the hell
Granted you
This power?
