Ample they say, I’m not sure how to proceed.

Beginning at once, my mind and body soaks up the weed.

Crowing ever so softly, I lay my fingers to the keys.

Dedicated to the task at hand, I surely must appease.

Ever so slightly I continue, careful to ensure I have a good venue.

Fraught with desire, each lady doth watch — intent — as the audience grew.

Growth is apparent, grouped by seating, with readers already bleating.

Harmony ensured, writing continues, the editor not wanting a beating.

Ill-natured, with not enough time, the warmed writer goes on to exposit.

Joy — joy — noting oncoming midpoint, gleeful writer pops one to the firepit.

Kicking and screaming surely, the others are now, the writer pulled a cow.

Laying it on thick, continuing on, the writer added more fun, ya know how?

Mucking about in his brain, words flew out, thinking “Jessica Chastain?”
