An empty pen defies the poet's mind Gleefully abstaining from the art Frustrating the screaming muse Who pleads for voice, for validation. At a loss for the well's run dry I, too, cry melancholy stupor. For where may thoughts go, I panic. Rhyme, reason, useless without a quill Alas, I churn without my utensil. Creeping through purse, breaking nails, Finding treasures (tangents easing my muse) Only to discover that screaching call again. Voila!! Eyeliner becomes a vessel tool For no thick, smudging lipstick will do!! |

amusemi - use every utensil handy when the thought of a poem comes to mind. I've even used coal when I had nothing else... I liked the write... BC |

I just knew you would understand!! (As only a poet can!) Larry-you continue to crack me up!! Madame-where ever do you find those graphics? They are so cool!! I still haven't braved the creation of one in a piece. And Bill (the gypsie King) you are so wonderful to me...thanks...P.S. There's got to be a story behind the coal thing...care to share? |

So clever. Enjoyed this, Amusemi. When the ink well runs dry, it becomes an obsession, almost to put some more in it, if you know what I mean. PB4S |
