“Dried-up Inside” by Jude Lally

Jude_final_300jpgLike a pen
left idle and uncapped
for too long

Longing for signs of life
Lacking strokes of character
Lost in a blockade of knots

Like a frustrated pupil
frantically trying to participate
in the day’s pop quiz—

rubbing the paper raw
with the pressure of the teacher
looming over shoulder—

yet nothing coming to mind and
finally tearing through the paper,
hoping the answers come soon

Jude Lally,
I’m Fine, but Thanks for Asking (2012), Accents Publishing

Jude LallyJude Lally writes and recites poetry as an outlet for his creative needs and as a means of enlightening, inspiring, engaging and entertaining listeners. Fortunately, Jude’s main source of inspiration in his writing is easily accessible; unfortunately, so many places in the world are not: in 1998 Jude was diagnosed with a rare, degenerative neuromuscular disease called Friedrich’s Ataxia. Jude received a BA in Business Administration in May of 2006. Jude is a member of the poetry group Poezia, occasionally attends The Poet’s Supper and the Artcroft writer’s group outside of Carlisle, KY, and is a regular presenter at the Holler Poets series events.
