all April’d out
breaking news
absent muse
source of weary poet’s blues
all worn out
filled with doubt
suffering a poem drought
uninspired
thoughts misfired
still two weeks of rhyme required
hacks away
with wordplay
longing for the first of May
Off prompt for Day Seventeen at napowrimo.net
with yet another poem about writer’s block.
Shared with OpenLinkNight LIVE at dVerse ~ Poets Pub.

Don’t we all have days like that. The best thing about the bottom of anything is that there must be an up.

very cute, Ken ~ I can relate!
BTW, I found a pic of your son online, and I don’t recognize his face, although we were at CWRU at the same time and graduated together. shrugs
Regardless, Maya Angelou made quite an impression on me during our commencement!

Ha – The muse is working overtime – the brain is saying I’m tired. I give all that are writing a poem a day credit. I planned on participating this year but, life had other plans.

LOVE this, Ken. You made me chuckle out loud this morning reading it. For the first time in many years, I’m not doing NAPOWRIMO. And while I’m missing it, I know that with all the pre-planning for this trip we undertake on Monday, I never could have done it every day…and certainly not after Monday when we’ll be flying off to London.
Hoping you’ll stop by again today (Saturday) at OLN LIVE. It’s always good to see you! I understand Paul from Australia will be joining us as well as Kim from the UK. Always fun to see who pops in!
May your last days of NAPOWRIMO go smoothly! 🙂

I hope Saturday went well. Mine was filled with attending readings, others and my own – with another one tonight (Monday). After all, it is National Poetry Month!
Enjoy your travels.
