Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

A Word Or Two

I tried to write
oh hear my plight
it has become wordless night.

The pen stood still
no words on page I fill
no matter how much I will.

So the page is blank
to many coffee I have drank
into mindlessness I have sank.

Time to turn out the light
dream of words in the night
hoping for some ideas and insight.

I seem like a lost poet looking for my muse who has gone in hiding for an extended time. Gheesh. love phyl

Charmaine Chircop September 12, 2023 at 3:22 PM This happened to me ..but not for one night,for a long time..I couldn't write..and somehow now I can again... I hope the words you dream of in the night become tomorrow's beautiful poetry. Phyllis Babcock September 19, 2023 at 10:16 AM Thanks for your comment on my poem. It has been a long period where I have felt uninspired in my writing. Guess just going thru a phase where nothing sounds right or maybe just to hard on myself. love phyl
