Black, white, and gray
Darken the canvas.
He sees the stories
fitting together.

The typewriter clicks.
The burdens of
yesterday,
The worry of
tomorrow
fill the pages.

Almost finished; but wait--
a mistake.
He quickly fixes
the imperfection,

Onward he writes.


The author's comments:
I wrote this for my creative writing class. It's inspired by my grandad who was the editor of our local newspaper for 25 years.
