Leave a sentence incomplete..

Facing writer’s block daily I was looking for advice

On how to write every day, this suggestion caught me by surprise-

It recommended leaving a half-finished sentence, midway

The goal being to start writing by completing that sentence the next day

This definitely sounds interesting, and worth an attempt

Leave a sentence hanging in mid-air with the intent

Of expanding on it to compose a verse new

Let the burden of thinking be split into parts two

*

Coming to think of it I have done this before

When I am exhausted and cannot complete a thought any more

I type out the beginning of a sentence and fall asleep

The next day when I sit down to write, the choice is mine whether to keep

The words intact and keep building on what I wrote

Or to delete it and start from scratch on a different note

*

At the end of this verse I am planning to write

An incomplete sentence so that tomorrow writer’s block I do not fight
