Are you ready for dictation?
Then listen to creation,
Slowly words that reach fruition,
Find a way to your location.
Quickly one by one they
Swiftly take possession,
One by one they hurry by,
Seeking out their destination.
Rhyming words doing verbs
In fact all sort of words,
Some change some rearrange,
As they dance across the page.
First a sentence then a line,
Paragraphs come just in time,
Next a page, soon a chapter,
How many more to capture?
Stories written, tales are told,
Of people who have been bold.
Fears faced they bravely hound,
Their reservations underground
Romance of hero, who was parted,
Sweetheart torn from him, he cried,
Decides to take a camel ride,
By caravan he sought and found his bride.
Work is done, yarn createdd,
Novel written, pages sorted,
Chapters checked, paper printed,
Book is bound and title found.
Stillness taught so vision comes,
Quietly listened, words abound,
Silenced mind so story writes,
Pictured all and work was found.
