Nick Riselli

Brain Freeze

Staring at the paper
Wondering what to write
Many a caper
As my words take flight

But I have now hit a wall
Which gives me great strife
I thought I had it all
My ideas cut by a knife

Chewing my pencil
I don't know what to do
To get out of this stencil
And start anew

But as I look down
The adventures are occurring
Turn my frown around
And now the pencil is twirling
