A Permanent Funk


Been in a bit of a funk lately Have I finally reached the end No quatrains, couplets or narratives No words of wisdom to send At first I thought, oh I'll be back Humming along as before Don't get yourself in a great big flap Lately I'm not quite so sure Wishful thinking was part of it It's lot more serious than I thought The well's running dry, pretty sure In a permanent funk I'm caught Need a great event to inspire me It's only a matter of time I'll be back on track and zinging along And once again I'll be fine In no time at all I'll be smiling again So why am I feeling so down Feel like this old King of the Jesters Is somehow losing his crown

Jack, you don't need fireworks or a crown to smile. Take a walk outside any early morning. Listen to birds singing, watch dawn waken the sun... then write.
