Thank you for beginning

For giving me a start

To the words about to come

Which shall soon be written upon this page


And I appreciate your flow

For making it so easy

To place down meaningless nonsense

With this pencil I hold

And still call it art


You are nothing more

Than meticulously chosen words

Trying to mean as much as possible

And still refusing

To serve any purpose


The author's comments:

Jack McCarthy is an amateur student author who writes a little here and there when he has time. When he’s not writing, he spends most of his time reading the dictionary. He believes that a strong vocabulary is the key to a healthy and expressive mind. Creative writing is one of his favorite classes as a high school student, and he takes most of his inspiration from his 12th grade English teacher, Mrs. Schebesta. Also, he hopes you like his work. It’s around here somewhere.
