I really need to write a good poem.
I’ve been trying
but the results are insipid.
I hate this poetic skid.
I’m incensed that it has happened.
Used to be, I could write
about anything so easily.
Tulips are shouting,
leaves are stretching,
but, my imagination is shrinking.
It must be the weather.
We haven’t seen the sun
for over a week.
Everything is damp and dreary.
And I’ve cranked out another dud.

No you haven't! 'poetic skid'..wonderful..it's humid over in the UK and it does drain the senses..I always picture you at your desk..maybe at your school..writing these pieces.. gives me a window into another world and another person writing..what more can you ask? Jae
not a dud at all it's a wonderful poem
I, too, like 'poetic skid' and can definitely relate. My muse is like a child, but always comes back. It looks like yours never left-- this is NOT a bad poem.
i think you did a great job writing out your writer's block. Maybe not your best poem, but certainly a fun one.
This is a perfect expression of how you feel! It's a lull we all get them! This is wonderful! Hope the words come flooding back!

i can understand why your muse has fallen asleep.
hope sunshine returns and she wakes up soon.

Ey oop! Happen there's nowt wrong wi' that, lass! So far as weather's concerned, it's a bit mucky ower our Annie's too.
i like the creativity used on this piece. good job.
Well you might think it's a dud, but it has a certain damp charm. Here we are damp and cloudy as well, but everybody is reveling in it because we've been in an awful drought since January.
loved it! Oh I have been there =) Very creative
Jealousy and Nightmares are my entries
Adorable poem, Linda.
All of your poems are little tales that I love to read...bits to savor that reveal, even when you seem stuck. I enjoy that you wax and wane with your poetry, as it makes me feel less guilty/bummed when the same happens to me!
