Wordsmith (IP)


from the ABC set The Long and the Short of It...

I come with tracts of words
in verses, gobbets, screeds
and locked diaries.
I come over the skyline,
saddlebags bulky with books
and transcribed dreams.
I come from tomorrow
with hopes, beliefs and
all your yesterdays.
I come with your own names
in papers, pamphlets,sheets
and death certificates.
I come with no vain hope
of welcome, greeting, joy
at my lone arrival.

But still I come.

A reasonable take on the current IP at the time of posting might be fair comment. I take the view that an IP is current until a new one is posted by TC or the other editors. I believe that was around midday on Friday. You disagree?

IP at 13.40, I checked.

Sorry I wasn't more precise- no offence intended.
