#3 "This is Not...

Begin with, "This is not the last poem I will write..."

________________________________

This is not the last poem I will write.

I will not go willingly into that dark night.

Cold and still I may lie,

But I'm not done. No, not I.

I will kick, claw, grab and bite,

Determined to never back down without a fight.

My pen still holds ink, my pencil still holds lead.

This hunger for expression demands to be fed.

I will one day find my wayward muse.

I should back down? I refuse.

This is not the last poem I will write.
