I stared about in stark surprise At my blank and empty head No random thoughts flickering Like fireflies in June Bare empty walls Clean squares where once Pristine portraits stared bemused Among the myriad eclectic chairs Wires dangle like Spanish moss From the empty ceiling holes Not even a scrap of paper Lies upon the scrubbed wood floors Patchy and smooth from transient carpet My thoughts are gone My mind empty My voice echoes odd No forwarding address No note goodbye Just me, my walls, and I Alicat, the Persnikitty  Insert Disclaimer Here:____________________________ As I sit here dimly thinking Watching modem lights a-blinking Churning out poetic hash. Lord, in all Your piety, Help me keep my sanity: Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat |

Interesting, sounds like you were robbed in the middle of the night, the muse thief in action, I think we need to alert the media...LOL Loved your poem, great imagination what's left anyway. |
