I don’t seem to have a poetic word left in me.
Its disturbing for I thought I could find one
When the urge took me that way.
I’ve discovered there’s no point fighting it
After all if its not there, its not there.
I’ve looked at the blogs I follow
There’s wonderful verse about flowers, pots,
Landscapes and the brave folk who look to discover themselves.
There are pieces of prose I cannot but admire
But me there is in these recent days nothing is forth coming.
Writing goes like this.
Its like a drought of creative thought.
I have to sit and let the words come again.
I’m reminded of a cartoon I saw recently,
A man receives a box from Ikea
On the box is written “The Latest Blockbuster Novel”
Inside he finds the box is full of letters,
My mind is like that at present.
So the rest of you keep up the wonderful work
I look forward to reading your words
As I struggle to assemble mine.

It’ll come Michael. Love the Ikea Box.
I think it’s either a phase or old age having it’s way with me
You’re as old as you feel Michael. My Dad would say he felt like a 16 year old, and Mum told him he couldn’t have one. Hubby and I act our shoe size. Take care and keep safe. I miss Miss Marble et al
Well I think that was most of the things you said you thought others words werw, so maybe you were trying to hard! That said I know for sure I have written a similar post on my time. Hello from my hospital bed, the gallstones have finally brought me in!!
Lovely to hear from you Jules. Hope you are up and about soon. I’m told gallstones can do that to you. Best wishes and take care.
It’s pretty good Michael.
Thanks Sadje beginners luck
Haha! You’re an old hand.
I don’t see a problem there at all, Michael 👓🙂
The muse is maybe having a nap, we all need one from time to time. Great post though, I loved the ikea imagery. KL ❤
Oh Michael I do hope the muse returns to you, though I know how it can be. I look forward to the day something moves you. and you write again
Your Muse is still there, lingering. Those letters will once again form words. xx
I’m sure they will 😀
