The Blinking Cursor

The blinking cursor

It is the scariest thing in the world

to some people

or to some

the most magical

So full of potential to help

or hurt

Always waiting

never stopping

blink, blink, blink

Begging you

to write

Put thoughts

into words

and words

into keystrokes

It’s nagging

It’s hopeful

It’s reminding you not to procrastinate

It’s an inspiration

Only writers

or creators

or high schoolers not wanting to do a term paper

will understand

It’s your badgering agent

It’s your cheerleader

Or maybe it’s just the computer’s way of saying

‘Type here’

The blinking cursor

It is the scariest thing in the world

or the most magical
