A Brain Freeze

Two days have gone by and no new poems What's happening to this silly old geezer Am I having one of those damn writer's blocks Those famous deadly brain freezes Surely there's a bunch more stuff inside It just isn't making itself known Usually I'm a very patient old son of a gun Hope this old mind hasn't blown All those poems I had stored up for months Getting near the end of the pile Kinda frightened like a little kid, I am My reputation's gonna be defiled Think I'll lie down for a couple of days To let my old bean-o recharge Then I'll be back to my prolific old self Sure feel like an absolute retard They say it can happen to the best of us guys Thought I was above all that stuff So much for that “holier than thou” attitude You guy's have seen through my bluff

Yes it sure does happen to all of us and I think of all the words in this world why can I not make them flow into a poem. It will flow again and you will be back in the groove. love phyl

Yep, it happens to all of us. Some days I can't write fast enough to get all of my ideas out. Other days, I struggle to come up with a single rhyme. You get the old groove back, Jack. Just be patient!

You are correct Mr.Hankins! Ideas can't be forced they must flow like the wind! Some come from deep in our soul! Cheers!

You're not alone Jack, it happens to us all. Eventually ideas will come but you can't force it. Even our brains need a rest. Enjoy your weekend. Tom
