The words don’t come, I have no say my muse has left on extended holiday The worse of that, he took his friend the one that helps me find my pen No lines to write in poem or prose no stanzas to be, no endings to close I look at the screen and shake my head for the fingers are numb and freeze instead The keyboard will squeak out a word or two I puzzle on them and know I am through Rhyme Zone just blinks at my thought instead of giving my the rhyme that I sought I never thought I was very smart but the bitter fruit is more than tart Maybe I should sit under Newton’s tree and have an apple come land on me Even then, instead of a shout I would eat the apple without a doubt Ahh woe is me, and all begone there isn’t enough left for a song And if by now, you think, poor thing I have to admit the sorrow does cling But then I will grin and wink my eye for it was all in fun and not a goodbye |

Ahh, a case of holiday writers block. That is a tough one to overcome. This was very amusing. I especially liked the stanza with Newton's apple. Dave |

Ah, you even amuse without your muse! Me own computer was gobblewonky yesterday, do you think it would let me in much to read and rhyme? Not for even a millisecond of time! But finally I'm here to enjoy your Ah Owe is Me, with an "attaboy!" |

An ironic write, indeed. I enjoyed the rhyming scheme and story line. |

Perhaps it's just my take, Logan, but I felt a pang of compassionate grayness rather than humor in this one... I hope it was simply a temporary poetic purge and that indeed it was all in fun and that you keep grinning. I enjoyed the "uninspired" read!

Hi Logan--so good to see you posting this piece of non-poem...because even when your muse and pen holder are missing you bring smiles to many with your words. So, you have no excuse for "not" writing. Peace and love to you this day and tomorrow with your family! Hugs! |
