Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS WRITER
I’m Gunna write.
I really am.
With new frameworks,
hot coffee
and toast with jam.
SUBMIT that article
No! Thats’ too bland.
Deliver that article
To the publisher’s hand.
An ill equipped room away from home,
No computer or Microsoft word.
Just ‘Pages’ on iPad
Where the saving function eludes me.
With docs lining up
Full of words that I’ve written
Spewed out at times
When there was no stopping my mission.
When feeling brave and
When feeling bravado
to manifest dreams
I write and I write
Into any old screen.
I’ll send this to Catherine
With deadline today
10pm looming
Excuses delay….
One more go at saving
with ‘Pages’ on iPad
Or back up my plan with
iPhone 5 in my hand.
Into Gmail my desperate words will go
Onto screen that flicks round
and does it’s own thing.
God damn it technology’s
Glitches and bitches
It’s all done on purpose,
Testing commitment.
But this time I won’t let it
Stop the words flow.
A fellow Gunnas stands
At the lights on the Terrace
As we both head away
Feeling vibrantly dazed.
“Use your Gmail on iPad”
She says on the breeze,
“Oh gee, yes of course”.
Excuses stop now
New frameworks in place,
Commit to that keyboard
Pour the wine, move around
And type into space.
