Inspiration's on Holiday Again!

Saxon Crow

My mind is empty

Devoid of words

I have nothing to say 

To be read or heard

I should feel content

As there are no woes on my mind

Having nothing to express

Means everything's fine

But I must confess

I miss that voice in my head

That sense of self expression

That allows me to say 

what's meant to be said 

It just means I have to wait

Until the words call out my name

And then I can write

More poetry once again

It's like inspiration takes a break

Just for a while

Maybe goes on holiday

with its wife and child

Then comes back home renewed and refreshed

Ready to create a string of verse

But until that return

I feel lost and alone

So I wait with pen in hand

Silently at home

    Agghh, yes, the brain cells gone on holiday. All 3 of mine have gone.

    It’s difficult when we feel we cannot write , or are lost and don’t even know what to write about . Sometimes a picture can inspire me to write ,

    I look around me wandering if there’s anything around me I can write about .

    I’m sure youl feel able to write soon .. hope so )

    'It's like inspiration takes a break'
    or
    'It's like inspiration allows, us
    a break'..
    so relatable, dear Poet
    thank you! (phew
    so it's not just me then...)
    lol

    Excellent Saxon. I'd never have though of writing about how barren i feel when my inspiration has drifted from me.
    You have inspired me here though. And right now i have thoughts of penning my loss though I have to admit inspiration rose again in me this morning.
    I find an amazing lift of spirit once i have been seduced by inspiration and produced a piece - I'm sure it must be similar for you and all us poets.
    Great work, I'm going to indulge in a re-read now.

      Thanks Dusk. Today was a desperate attempt to write something because ive been quiet for a few days. Yes, like you I gain a sense of joy once a piece is kind enough to surface from my foggy mind.

      .....And fulfillment - great stuff, Sax.

    • Morwenna

      Well it certainly came back today for you - and struck a chord in your readers. I love the half rhymes and gentle metr.e

      Those times when Calliope goes on holiday do happen but she will return with more wondrous words for you SC.
