Used up Words used to fill my seething brain Until I wrote them down in rhyme. I'd be a wealthy woman now If each had brought a single dime. Now when I sit to write a bit I often find an empty head. My fingers fumble in their fear I've left my mind back in my bed. My brain and hands in early days Connected as the newly wed. Now, like the couple married long, Sit silently, it's all been said.

Dear Joyce; I sooo know the feeling! But I have come to the conclusion that it is the antimuse trying to keep our gift from flourising! Yes it may have all been said, but not the way we would say it, in each of our individual styles...agree? Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Joyce, this poem is cute, but I have to say, for a poet such as yourself, there are many more words you've yet to write my friend.  |

Joyce, my muse also seems to be on extended vacation sometimes. pateince is the key I think. "And this too shall come to pass." hugs. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Joyce: We all go through brief, dry periods I think, but you have the ability to rise above it. Your poetry is growing all the time and many people who watch for your next poem. Betty Lou Hebert |
