whimsical (or the lack of a better title)

Sometimes I am troubled by this,

how to make something larger
than it already is

a writer i ofttimes call myself
but easily i forget to add
the ingredients of life from the shelf

'the plot' is ever elusive to me
still i keep pondering about things
hoping to write a line or three

sometimes i feel i have got it wrong
as always, there are more pressing matters
than perhaps writing another song

Sure my wisdom Will guide me to the next link
but a friend had me convinced the other day
"You are always less mature than you think"

"no no", I tell her, "I have got it all in my head"
and go on and lie about my idea
of the villain and why he is dead

So another hope I put on you, my Lord
may my actions defend my words, and may
my pen be mightier than the metaphorical sword

a try to win i have to try, the chances are pretty slim
write, write, write I have to
to fulfill a dream, to follow a whimsical whim

I have readied my quill and parch, hence
waiting, praying for that fateful day
when my words will earn my twopence
