A Word Or Two

I tried to write oh hear my plight it has become wordless night. The pen stood still no words on page I fill no matter how much I will. So the page is blank to many coffee I have drank into mindlessness I have sank. Time to turn out the light dream of words in the night hoping for some ideas and insight.

- One feels completely empty... when no words will cooperate, dear Phyllis ... suddenly they reappear... strange :) - Well written :) - hugs

I seem to have been empty of words for so long that I am beginning to wonder if the virus did affect my mind. I seem like a lost poet looking for my muse who has gone in hiding for an extended time. Gheesh. love phyl

This happened to me ..but not for one night,for a long time..I couldn't write..and somehow now I can again... I hope the words you dream of in the night become tomorrow's beautiful poetry.

Thanks for your comment on my poem. It has been a long period where I have felt uninspired in my writing. Guess just going thru a phase where nothing sounds right or maybe just to hard on myself. love phyl
