The Unwritten

I have not written many poems.

Of those I have not written

Would they not be worth writing?

Would the poems be best written


When the writing is not wrote?

Would the writing of the poems

Be the very best of all?

Would the writing be amazing?


Would the unwritten be best written

If unwritten it remained?

Would the written be best written

If unwritten it had been?


Of all the unwritten the written

Now is gone.

And the unwritten written is left

To those of us still writing.


But the writer does not write

For the things that he has written,

No, the writer only writes

For what he has unwritten.


But everything unwritten,

Unwritten will remain,

For the writer will keep writing,

But will never catch up


To the unwritten words inside his head.

A writer's work is never done,

Or so the people say,

But the writer keeps on writing


Until their words have run out.

Not that the unwritten has been written

But that the writer cannot write

For the unwritten written will remain.


And so the writer will keep writing until they are spent,

But the unwritten will always remain a mystery

To those that do notwrite.
