Just for fun

 Poet’s Block

 

I’d like to write a poem

But nothing seems to stick

Starting and stopping

When will ideas click?

 

A scenic ride in Venice

A prayer to the Lord

A new car perhaps

Or something I can afford

 

I can write down what’s around me

Like I’ve often done before

But even that is not appealing

There’s got to be something more

 

I should think of a metaphor

So I’ll surely sound poetic

Can I think of some new insights

Without sounding like a heretic.

 

Perhaps describe my feelings

But that may be too depressing

I can go on and on like this

And keep myself guessing

 

Well as it often happens

As it has done today

I don’t have any ideas

But I write a poem anyway.
