Don't Distract Me - I'm Writing

The elusiveness of words

Damn distractions!

I can't get the words to

Sound right,

Tight,

Ready to strike and take

Action: grab, nab attention;

Can I catch their essence and

Their sense?

I try with my tools:

Ordinary words, scrabbling to compete until

Now, it's complete.

    I feel this! Trying to focus with cartoons blaring and my son screaming bloody murder in my ear 😄
