No Poetry Today
I have misplaced my words
I have lost my verse
My imagination has taken a vacation
I have lost my track of thought
Like a train speeding past
A poem is out of my grasp
My words are out of sync
They want to burst in
Yet, I have no rhythm
My words have no heartbeat
They can’t tap their own feet
My poems are not too sweet
Only sour tasting words
That ruin my poetic verse
I can’t think of any words
It is a dreadful verse
As letters are dispersed
I wish I was in command
I would demand
That the pen in my hand
Would write some poetic ink
Instead my words drown in the ink
My once light floating words
Just sink
Swimming in thick black ink
My misplaced words
This poem couldn’t get any worse
I think I want to block out these words
Block out this verse
I want to stop writing the wrong words
In this misplaced verse
I’m lost for words
I might as well write in reverse
With back flipping words
Skipping and jumping off the page
These words are on holiday
Definitely, no poetry today
