I have nothing to say today
My inspiration has gone away
There's a deathly silence in my mind
As if imagination has suddenly died
And these words I write are empty too
Like an old newspaper torn and used
But still the need to write is there
It's like an ink addiction I have to share
I wonder if others feel the same
A need to try and express in vain
And is this a reflection of living a life
When all you had has left or died
So I'll write these words knowing full well
I've actually said nothing like a tongueless bell
Maybe tomorrow I'll have something to say
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel me again
Maybe tomorrow my words will have meaning
A simple reflection of all that I'm feeling

This does happen but your words today will give you the inspiration to write more words.
Andy
It does GF and. Its bloody annoying!
Just don't go away Sax.
l've got a poem on this situation stashed away...hope it stays there. I teeter on the edge of pinning it but need MPS - especially while in lockdown as I am right now.
I strain with all me might.....
I've no intention of going anywhere Dave. It's just a poem about not being able to write a poem. Although it is bloody annoying when you can't think of anything!
Your poem sounds intriguing mate I think you should out it out there
.. it happens all the bloomin time .. nice bit o self disclosive prose on a sunny Sunday mane goes down a treat with me toast n marmalade ...
tomorrow will be different just you wait n see 🙂
Thanks Nev. Yes, it does happen, alas. But at least we can write about it. The perks of poetry
And yet in feeling nothing, you've felt everything so small!
Fantastic work, yes an ink addiction still has its flaws. When I just can't sleep and need to write a bit more.
Tell me about. Truth is I'm scared to stop or the flow might go!
Ha never with a name like Saxon Crow, even if you don't want it! It's there, you know 😉
The writers dilemma well expressed here.
Er, oh what is that word? Er, er,. Oh yes. Thanks Dusk :p
Saxon Crow,
You’re truly a messenger of what we all have felt at some time or other.
Your “simple reflection of all that” you’re feeling is inspirational.
Laura 🌻
Thank you Laura. Much appreciated
You’re welcome.
Good write, S.C.
We ebb and we flow. The sun doesn't rise the earth rolls down we just can't feel it that way.
Thanks Jerry. So true
I can totally relate to that. The need to write is there but it's a blank sometimes. Beautifully expressed, you have made that dilemma into a poem. well done 🙂
Thanks Jayasree. It's fear! Lol. If I stop then it might not come back!
Ha ,ha .. That's a good one
Don't worry. It will come to you, like swimming and cycling. When you have it in you, it will not go away..:)
Have Muse will write, even if subject of none. ; )
Thanks AP. Lol
I had lost my inner muse once...I wasn't even able to express what exactly I felt back then.... But today I think I finally got a good explanation for my misery!!
Very well done Sax!
