A Day In the Life -- Poet's Progress

Getting started is harder some days than others Tempting ideas take shape -- vanish without a trace A couple of lines appear, then run out of rhyme Going nowhere fast is a misnomer; it's agonizingly slow And the poetry's just awful Push to finish it anyway...Push hard...Push to finish it...Ah, done! The next one'll probably be easier; this one was certainly no fun

I pulled out the same line as P.S. "going nowhere fast is a misnomer." That line seemed fun.

Yep, that's how it works! Please add this line to your quotes (I love it) "Going nowhere fast is a misnomer; it's agonizingly slow"
