Sevenling (no one watched) *
No one watched him type,
tilt his head, delete, and
(tilting) type delete again.
No one saw his struggle,
his insomnia,
his bloody keyboard.
He was no one’s hero now.

Scrambled, Not Fried 
Sometimes I look at myself and think how funny it would look to others the way I work and how much time it takes. I also tilt my head and like to squint my eyes when searching for the right words.
I suspect a mirror on us all would be quite informative!
But I love the suggestion, even if a bit back-handed, that making poems is a heroic endeavour.
Poets are never heroes…until they are!
That resonates- the struggle is real..the reward elusive.
The battle feels noble when I’m in the thick of it. But a duel with writer’s block is often quite grueling.
We all seem to be connected with similar syndromes … the tilt/delete/continue thing.
Yes, but you persevere, and we get to read good words. So you are a hero.
I love reading your sevenlings. You are very adept at this form, Ron.
