Not Poetically Astute


Sitting here without a theme to write about
For me, a problem particularly acute
This enigma I’m particularly uptight about
Convinced I’m not poetically astute

Not poetically astute is what I’m thinking
It’s a downer, enthralling not for me
With this downer, I’ll end up bar-room drinking
With my poems all written fuzzily

Inebriation’s not this poet’s rhyme enhancer
Since rhymes flow only when I’m sober
Soberly I hope to find my rhyming answer
Hopefully now, before I’m any older

It's good that you can laugh at your
ideas block! I have found the same
thing since my last stroke, ideas are
few and far between, I thought that the
style really suited the subject matter.
I had a giggle at this.

It's never amusing to lack a muse is
it? I think you managed just fine! :-)

How sweet Stan!
Most people drink as an excuse to write,
I like your being more creative when not
in a state of inebriation..((Hugs)))
Love,
Zoya
