Let Me Write One True Sentence


Let me write one true sentence.

Let me write one true sentence
Till I have a paragraph.

Please let me write one true sentence
Till I have a page.

Oh please let me write one true sentence
After another till I have a book.

I pray, let me write one true sentence
Till I could put my thoughts to sleep
Now that I have a book

***


This poem is inspired by Ernest Hemingway's quote about writing.


“Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”
