Word Dancer

Which word is the right

Word?

Agony of sweat and blood

In comfy chair with arm

Rests

Why do I strive?

No one asked me to be a

Writer

All these years

Words on words

Running to mailbox

Ripping open envelope

Thanks, but not what we are

Looking for at the moment

All these years later

Hair white and moving

Slower

Word dancer keeps looking for

the perfect partner.
