Losing My Words

A million poems begun Some just don't work I'll look back in on them later Or someday If I can remember what scrap they're on Or what pile they're in Are they in a notebook What color New or old Everyone stop And look I've lost my words Are you making a list on the back of my words I'm just asking Still looking Agony I know what it needs to be complete If my words still live Damn I hate this Losing my words

Losing your words :( I know the feeling... keep writing them down... and I need to take my own advice... I really like this :)

Wow I can relate to this. Its happen to me before also. If you cant finish a poem come back to it on another day. I have a notebook with half written poems in it. I look at it sometimes with fresh eyes and always finish them.
