A Poem On My Mind

Went to bed last night A poem on my mind Fell fast asleep The day left behind Came the morning That poem was gone No sense crying Time hurries on

How many times does that have to happen before we tie a pen around our neck. LOL

I'm going to guess it was a good one. Like fishing, the one's that get away.

hahahahahaha... Typical, so typical. Sometimes I will be in the shower and an inspiration will come.. Before I finish bathing, BOOM! It disappears, no matter how I try to memorize some selected keywords from the inspiration. I totally relate with this.

Gershon, It's happened many times. But I'm still thankful for the new day. 'Times hurries on', very nice. -Richard

i've certainly had this happen, gershon! even repeating it over and over won't guarantee that it will still be there in the morning. the only real way to save it is to get out of bed and write it down, as annoying as that it. you've captured this feeling well...

Hello Gershon Wolf, When you have a poem in your thoughts, wake up write the title. Then in the morning write the poem. This happens to me, and i just write the title down and then write the poem. Most of my ideas comes from my dreams. be safe. Enjoy your day my fiend.
