I went over to one of my favourite web photo resource sites, found this photo on its home page and was inspired to write my 9th day poem.

old graffiti
it was just
rows of
faded pencil marks
on a yellowed page
scratched in a naive hand
brash but unsure
small steps
like a baby's
searching
for words
for that
great poem
even the strokes
were angry
the mood
probably too
but the elusive
creatures,the words
stayed hidden
buried
and that was why
that poem
never met
the light
of day
