PUZZLED POET

Andy Hunter

Today I decided to try and write something new
What's it going to be about? I haven't got a clue
So I stare at the screen, but I just can't think.
My brains like a pen, that's run out of ink
Analogy's a great theme, not done that before
But I hit a brick wall, as I can't think of anymore
Perhaps a memory? A dream? romance? or fears?
Looking for inspiration, but still with no ideas.
I try using my imagination and write down a few lines
Then look for other words to try and make them rhyme.
My objective was to write a poem with some eloquence
But everything I write down just simply makes no sense.
So to spark creativity I recall something from the past
Ideas come and go but the moment doesn't last.
I suppose some days my mind's just running a bit too slow
I try to write something meaningful, but nothing seems to flow.

    Very good write Andy, sometimes this just happens but we can still get words in the page.

      Well just when you think you're out of words, they seem to find you anyway. Great write Andy. ; )
      I believe the secret is to be well rested, relax and let it come to you. Works for me.

        True, sometimes I need to leave it for a while (sometimes days) and often when I least expect it the words suddenly form in my head.😊
