I take in hand my pen, and take out blank pages
Even though I was writing a masterpiece, I lost myself along the road
Its time to write another love song, a story of starting over
Ill put my life to this writing, as I did to the ones before
Its time to try again, search for a new beginning
And maybe this time, I’ll be able to write an ending
Maybe this story won’t be left unconcluded,
And I’ll be happy with the written pages
Maybe the ink in my pen won’t dry before I write,
“And they lived happily ever after”.

Hey, may I just say I love you style! This is just my personal opinion, but I think you'd like 'hey there delilah' by "The plain white T's", I know I don't know you, but just from you're poetry style I think you'd like it.
I love the situation you wrote about, I think you used awesome imagery at the beginning, and it made me smile from similarity of situation of own all the way through.
I think your talent is substantial! Keep up the brilliant poetry... and ofcourse, love songs.
Goodluck in the contest.
Much love and appretiation of the time you took to enter my contest, whether it be prewrite or not! =D

I found it interesting that the speaker interrupts the writing of the masterpiece in favor of a love song. I wonder . . . what had been the masterpiece, and has it been given up entirely? Or perhaps it is discovered in the end that the opus has already been written, and no longer by one author alone. I really like the imagery in the last 3 lines. Thanks so much for entering my contest!

Sometimes I think if your write 'happily ever after' then there would be no reason left to write. I like the non conclusion for it causes us to explore things further whether they be imagination or real life. I enjoyed your thoughts, they were melodic.

This is a great poem. It expresses what so many writers face-the need to write, but often stopping long before the end. Wonderful job!
