The Worst Poem I Ever Wrote- Real Grace Reflection #13

I was seeking a way to write down the words
That would lead to perfection in rhyme
But my brain fell far short of the goal that I sought
And the letters just died on the page

A page full of nothing was all that I saw
A waste of the keys I had hit
Yet, somehow the Editor read what He saw
And it brought a smile to his face

This reflection has been brought to you by L.O.M.T.'s 2015 theme, REAL GRACE
