I'm writing this piece
just to see,
How many people
will take the time to read me.

I don't expect a lot,
maybe just a few.
Or quite possibly
it will be only you.

So many stories
have come and gone.
So many writers posting
from dusk til dawn.

Every topic covered
from head to toe.
What's left to write about,
only you know.

So here I sit
in a writer's quest.
How should I proceed,
what would be best?

What should I write
to catch your attention.
Something new or unique
that hasn't been mentioned.

Suggestions? Anything?
Does anyone care?
Can't anyone think
of something to share?

Alrighty then,
I'll just take it from here.
And write a story
about love and fear.

Been done already?
Damn, that was quick.
How about vampires
or buttered toast? You pick.

Needless to say
it doesn't really matter.
Whether it's the first
or whether it's the latter.

Proximity and chance
seem to be the real key
On a good day
quite a few folks might actually see.

More likely than not,
it will only get a view or two.
But like I said before,
it will probably be just you.
