Mystery Musings ~ESP~ Words flow onto an empty page Breathtaking in their grace and beauty Then suddenly nothing else appears The end of my poem I never see Writing as fast as I can I attempt to catch the missing verse Elusive as ever it remains If anything the situation gets worse So I try penning the words slowly Trying to sneak up on what I cannot find But the A.W.O.L. rhymes and ditties Remain hidden in the maze of my mind My page is covered in scratchings out The destined word is lost somewhere My heart sent inspiration gaily packaged But my brain unwrapped it without a care All the beautiful contents therein Are lost forever, kept away I really wish they would reappear Near, yet so far, is how they stay Suddenly, when I least expect it They jump to my thoughts again Well, would you believe it A lovely poem I just penned |

Lil' Lizzie~ Honey, this is just a perfect example of the wonderful talent you possess. Those little thoughts can flit in a minute .. thank goodness they return 'when you least expect them.' Your writing is so YOU ... and that is a reflection of the wonderful young lady I've come to know so well. Love you, my friend.

This was terrific ESP! I'm always amazed when a poem's finished, and wonder ... how'd that happen? Great thoughts! Well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

This is wonderful, Lizzie! I've gone through this many, many times. I can relate!  "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

"My heart sent inspiration gaily packaged But my brain unwrapped it without a care." Those two lines are so true, and said so well! I can't even begin to count how many poems I have started and left unfinished. Great work, Lizzie! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

I like the way you expressed this. 'My heart sent inspiration gaily packaged But my brain unwrapped it without a care' Such pretty thoughts in your head. |
