Writer's Notebook

A poem in answer to this week's Sunday Scibblings prompt "YES"

You know how
Easy it is said, but
Sometimes, regret is harder still.

Yet, often,
Even when you think, you know your mind,
Sneaking round the corner comes disquiet.

You shake it off, it insists.
Evoke a hundred reasons to send it packing;
Suddenly, enlightenment knocks.

You realise struggle spells
Escape from doubt, your mind no longer
Sways.

You answer
Eager
Self-assured

YES
