Has the well run dry
Is it all used up
Not a word to be had
Is my mind bankrupt?
Here I sit at the screen
Hands poised on the keys
But they hover just above
Could it be brain freeze?
My mind’s been used up
There’s no doubt now
November’s marathon
Done drained it and how.
NaNo’s story’s tucked away
To marinate in the drawer
Until after the New Year
Then worked on once more.
Hopefully the muse-ic will return
After holiday cheer
Surely a dose of grandkids
Will kick it in gear.
But a few words would be nice
To share with blog friends
A story or reflection
More than these odds and ends.
I’ll try again tomorrow
Maybe the muse-ic will appear
To inspire something entertaining
Or otherwise quite dear.
But for now I will send you
Heartfelt holiday cheer
For happiness and peace
Now and in the New Year!
Ahhhhh -- This is really sweet! I think there's a lot of gear-shifting going on, particularly post-NaNo for people who did that. Give yourself a break/rest.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for dear, inspiring, and entertaining: check, check and check. You got it all!
Thanks.
I love your clever word creation: Muse-ic. Very clever indeed.
ReplyDeleteYour muse is rocking on in spite of November's grand challenge which you met with much vigor.
You've nothing to worry about regarding what you have to offer your blog friends. Your verses above are heartfelt and precious.
May you find daily delight in this month of December!
Thank you,ladies! It seems that writing this kind of rhymey stuff helps me get back in the writing mode. And RhymeZone is a big help too!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this it's hard to believe your having trouble. This is great.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot write poetry, it's beyond my realm. I'm glad I have more talented friends, it boosts me up...right? :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE! from me...paula
ReplyDeleteI love your "rhymey stuff"! Your muse-ic is still there, just tapping out a different beat.
ReplyDeleteAs one whom has been called "odd", this "odds & ends" writing is fun to read. I like it when you get all "rhymey". :>)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you all for your kind comments. That is very encouraging!
