Less a Peach... more Apricot
I have no will to write today
The muse had upped and gone away
I guess I have not a thing to say
I have no will to write today
So it must be the embers of my drole
That forces ink to part my soul
Or is it that I must cajole
The worthless embers of my drole
What is it I should do, I wonder
To chase away this empty? Plunder-
-books or stories of the, Under-
-world to make me ponder
Get out! Get out! I hear you say
Leave he desk when you feel this way
Dine out for lunch on lifes buffet
Go meet someone, be not passé
So it seems that I am forced to jot
Whether the muse is here or not
My writing tree though once loquat
Much less a peach... more apricot

- Comment from author about the poem: Sorry... This is dribble just having one of those mornings when I have the time to write and the urge to write but there's nothing there... and the thought came to mind.. boy you're looking for a Peach and there's just an Apricot... You know when you can't get something out?

And so another fine poem! Erm, are you 'getting out more' as they say?! heehee.
Yes I got out but it rained
So I'm back wetter and better for it
I feel a poem about rain coming on
Hello Andrew,
A wonderful write and perspective on Writer's Block.
Hope your thoughts will flow again resembling ripe full peaches.
Keep writing
FineB
Thanks FB
I have a lot of days like this.. more a pair of parsnips than a bowl of cherries..... there's a lot of it about.... Neville
LOL Thanks Neville
I love a good parsnip
I prefer turnips.. specially at the bottom of me kecks..... N
A perfect expression of that feeling we all get from time to time, sometimes a lack of inspiration can be the inspiration itself!
Thanks SW
Thankfully not too often
Writers block, me think she visited me, for I can't put two fruits together either today. No peaches, apricots, no parsnips, cherries, or turnips either, and neither wetter or better.
Now what was I going to say - AHHH WELLL!!!!!!!!!!!
Suresh your stress with your prowess
will soon be gone it won't take long
Surprisingly ANDREW your muselessness has resuited in a POEM of fine STRUCTURE ~ Five balanced Quatrains with a consistent Rhyme Pattern aaaa bbbb etc ! BUT alas the SUBJECT is lacking ! A lament on the missing muse as one would lament a Lost Love ! HOWEVER what it lacks in SUBSTANCE is more than compensated by STRUCTRE ~ so all in all an interesting and amusing POME ! However as a culinary expert (Lecturer in Food Science) I must take umbrage at the denigration of my Friend APRICOT ! If one plucks them from the TREE for instant consumtion Al fresco ~ The Peach might just have a slight edge ! BUT I (BRIAN) have had occassion in this last week to cook two *One Pot Casseroles* the first based on LAMB and the second CHICKEN. In addition to (different) appropriate vegetables etc I included DRIED APRICOTS in both Dishes to be served with boiled & buttered whole baby new potatoes (think about it). My guests (Foodies) on both occasions said how beautifully the APRICOT had ameliorated the organoleptic quality of the dish. Had I used PEACH it would have disintergrated and dissapeared witout trace ~ I rest my case !
Blessing & Peace & Muse Restoration
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Many thanks Brian for the in depth analysis... I bow to your culinary expertise and take on-board totally your comments concerning the cooked state of bot APRICOTS and PEACHES I had hoped the link to the LOQUAT made it clear that I had intended consumption to be considered as fresh from the tree... I shall try to be more specific when my muse returns and I am back on par... LOL
No really thanks for reading and commenting
Have a great evening
Andrew - no need at all to be sorry for this well-written lament on the absence of Muse - -- applause for a write that rhymes so eloquently despite the so -called writers block. Looking forward to your poem on rain........
Thank you Fay
You are very kind... It was dribbble
For a museless day Andrew your words fell onto the page quite easily by the look of it.
No no no
That took me 5 minutes to write that LOL
Half a da that's why i had to get out
Thank Andy (Great Name)
Hope you had a good week walking?
