Fair to middlin' of nowhere

I set out to write a sonnet
With words for my love to read
But my paper has nothing on it
I’ve drawn a blank I must concede

Words that won’t come on my command
That would tell him in no uncertain terms
I love it when he holds my hand
And I do not fear his germs

He’ll never know all the love I hold
Deep inside this heart of mine
It will be in vain and go untold
If I can’t write a single line

I’ve wracked my brain and scratched my head
And still don’t know what to say
My words have all completely fled
Perhaps they’ll return another day

Until then I will miss them
Until then I just will have to kiss him

Thank you for telling me that, it means more than you know. I use humor a lot and it is good to know it is appreciated in my poetry.
I try to write light whenever I can as I am usually trying to beat darkness off with a stick. Thank you so much for being so supportive of my writing!

thanks Jo! A friend of mine really pushed me to write a sonnet and I'm so glad because I really like them now.
