Toxic Word Dumpster Diving - A poem of NaNoWriMo Agonies


Got impatient,
with my writing
stated early
on editing
broke out the tools
backhoe, chainsaw
dug a deep ditch
into which went
many dark words
I had deemed then
as to toxic
to stay in print.
Too soon too soon!
my mind screamed back
just as dirt fell
from the scoop slow
to hide horrid
mistaken plots
and twists away
forever more.
We can fix it
yes surely so!
And thus NaNo
once more makes feast
upon my soul.
But I get it,
something good rose
from that session
of writing done
whilst I daydreamed.
