Alphabetic Drought
My heart longs to philosophize
Searching for phrases I recognize
Trying to get thoughts to harmonize
But nothing seems to materialize
Like your gonna sneeze, psych!
Yet that’s what it feels like
Waiting for inspiration to strike
When animated emotions spike
And you feel the pain
like the pouring rain
Driving thoughts like a train
off the track again
Hearing this refrain;
Yeah! That’s gonna leave a stain
Feelings run deep and thoughts are tense
Yet can’t get this jumble to make any sense
Old friends try to come to my defense
While I shrug it off and fain indifference
Emotion pursues and thoughts insist
The urge to write it down I just can’t resist
Creativity’s longing continues to persist
How long can this feeling continue to exist
A silent scream and shout
dying to get out
What’s it all about
thoughts full of doubt
Sentences cannot sprout
in this alphabetic drought
