    Description:
       Written in perhaps 31 words per minute, or perhaps more.

    This is completely different fro anything that I have written before. So comments will be very much appriciated.

    An experiment with enjambments. Question, should I still add the punctuation marks?

    Though the poem itself, I don't know, doesn't really make any sense...?

    I stare at a blank page,
    The cursor blinks
    Blinks, blinks, it blinks,
    As if tapping its foot
    Waiting
    Until I dirty the page
    With words,
    Or perhaps nonsense,
    For we all write nonsense sometimes,
    Or perhaps mostly,
    We write nonsense.
    I continue to stare at the page,
    As it writes itself,
    Or it seems to,
    For words flow out of me,
    As if
    I am only a medium
    Speaking for a higher being,
    But I am not,
    Not really,
    For what was written,
    Were nonsense.
    Nonsense on a page,
    It might as well be blank.

    I stare at a blank page.

      Yep, unfortunately we have all fallen victim to writing nonsense even though we set out to be ultimately profound. If we were not writing nonsense that we mean that we were dried upo and not writing at all and that is so much worse.

      I'd have to agree with sunsetserenity about blank pages. They are quite intimidating.

    Whenever I don't have inspiration and I sit looking at a blank page, I'm afraid to write anything. I fear the drivel that will come out of my uninspired self and spill onto the page. I always need an idea, an inspiration, something to write about.

    Great write about nonsense! This is a thought that crosses the minds of almost all writers from time to time, and you really brought it out well.

    Keep up the good work, Hsiao.

    Sincerely,

    Corey

      I like this poem. It's creative base and point makes it nonsencically beautiful. Keep it up! There is nothing I would change.

      Ha, ha! This makes me smile, for it was quite nonsense! In the best nonsensical way possible :-) I do enjoy how by the end of the poem, it leaves the reader thinking almost, "Why bother?" As if the words take up too much room in this universe, or something... it gives off an odd feeling, it does... I like that. Aren't we all just dirtying up the page when we write... that's nice too...

    !
    Peace, Lucydiamond

      Blank pages have always, and I'm sure they will always, intimidate me. I steam with excitement when I open up a notebook, but as soon as my pen rests on the clean, white page... I stop to question myself, "What makes me think that I am a writer? Why do I think that I have the ability to create something on this piece of paper that will be worth reading?"

    I become scared of making mistakes and wasting my time, but I have to remind myself that no matter what I end up writing, it's all nonsense. Intelligent or not. Humorous or not.

    It's all nonsense.

    But it's beautiful nonsense.

    I enjoyed reading your poem. It's obviously caused me to think about my own experiences with writing. I like it as it is, punctuation and all.

    Keep writing.

      'I stare at a blank page,

    I love that. It may not be your intention but it perfectly sums up writers block. The fact that even the thing that is supposed to help you write has lost patience with you.

    'Until I dirty the page
    With words,
    Or perhaps nonsense,
    For we all write nonsense sometimes,
    Or perhaps mostly,
    We write nonsense.'

    Dirtying the page. Spoiling it. Ruining something with your nonsense. Another great idea well executed.

    The punctuation marks are up to you. Put them where it feels appropriate. I think it works as it is. Your foray into another style appears, from my point of view, to have been successful.

    Thanks for a very interesting read.
