Drying Up?

orchidee



Nope, don't mean drying up the dishes!

But when ya have a dry patch in poetry

 

I been posting some older poems

Though not repeats

Though ya could sing a hymn over again

Sing it 20 times if ya wish!

 

Sometimes - just pick up the pen and paper

Or pencil and paper, as I do

Though I don't make that many alterations

 

Could I make it a bit easier to rhyme

If I used ye olde language

Lines of - ye and thee and we and see

And thou, and how now brown cow!

 

Nothing too swoony now, says Fido

No tales of 'concupiscence' - that's too hot

So Fido says! heehee

He only says it to save me - and maybe you too

From swooning!

 

Or do you go straight to the computer

And type up poems from there

Ad libbing as ya go?

 

And now a series of poems from me - all blank pages

'1,001 joys of life with KP!'

    1,001 nights wasn't that an Arabian hymn? You were right Orchi about the hot afraid my poem today will be banned for overlooking the last line. Loved this one Orchi it is easy to identify with.

        When I have a dry patch in poetry, I will post an older write. The muse isn’t always kind. Occasionally, I might write a spontaneous poem. I enjoyed your digression and your posted video. Funny.

          Thanks Cassie.

          Nicely done, Orchi. It's infuriating isn't it? I have times when I want to write a story or a poem but the words won't come. Like an itch I can't scratch. Cheers, Tom.

            Thanks Tom.

            A digression is an expression, or perhaps a regression to earlier times and your need for freedom from: KP? Poetry? Salvation? Or perhaps good old fashioned frustration…… how many more -ions would you like?

            • orchidee

              Yes, I blame KP for everything! lol.

              At least your not lying in a hospital bed, without a catheter.
