Poem
My Missing Muse I have tried to write as of late, but my mind has become a true blank slate. My keyboard is bored and my ideas are bland. I have to think of something grand. Lately I lack poetic thought, thus I’m feeling quite distraught. Maybe new themes will come to mind, if I read some antique poems of mine. I have written about nature, birds like ducks, a child’s marker freckles, a coffee cup. A retired boat resting on the shore, dirty socks behind a door. I’ve penned 2 poems about Monet and VanGogh. Now Degas? I don’t know. Lady Di who danced in her royal gown, but sadly now listens to angel sounds. Her love for people was always increasing, but my poetic thoughts,now decreasing. A teapot and a tuffet, diddle diddle dee. A sweet little bundle came to me. Blueberries grow on a bush not a tree! Still no ideas will come to me. Two tired tulips on my windowsill doze. Three ladybugs on a daffodil pose. Now is the time I need to compose! A chorus frog’s peeping has a dancing beat, clicking, croaking, repeat. Jumping rope in heels, the teacher who tried her best. Feathered fledglings sleeping in a Blue Egg mommy’s nest. There is a wee granny in my apple tree. Bring your appetite, then you’ll see! Trees dressed in acorns Protect our seas Echoing owls between forest trees. No new ideas coming into my head ? My muse is hiding, I dread. Cronkite,a reporting wiz, closed the news, “That’s the way it is” An unbiased journalist one could trust. Integrity, sincerity and principles, a must. TV shows, Winter fairies on tiptoes. Still I have the blank slate woes! A path of moonlight, dragonflies. Slowly summer says goodbye. Soon the southern birds will fly. Smell the season sunshine. Crowds that cheer, “Alley Oop” As basketballs find their longed for hoops. Aunt Gloria was warm in her Irish blue. Little boy Benjamin lost his little shoe! His sister found it, "PEE U” “Hooray” I cheer. Now it seems more clear, I feel my blank slate might disappear. I’m suddenly feeling passion for more creative action! Imagination,inspiration,determination! My mental blankness is washing away. New topics to write about, coming into play. Now upside down silly fun. To the writing teeter totter Marikate, have fun!
