He found himself in this deep unfathomable forest of words
Try as he might to tiptoe his way through
Continued to lose his way
Rarely has this been the case
Now, faced with this challenge
This battle he must win
Find a way onto the straight and narrow
They, cannot choose to overpower him
Having trod similar paths in distant times
In himself he had the utmost confidence
So into the unknown he launched himself
Clawed his way through cloudy foliage
Until eventually there was light
Moving his way crab like from page to page
Write for fifteen minutes – interval – write for fifteen more
Continue in this vain until his poem was complete.
