I have been asked so many times to write something for this or that person. It's hard to explain that the words don't just come to me when I want them to. I try and sometimes it works fine and other times I can't think of anything to say. Good stuff here my friend. God Bless, JB

Poetry like this is important as ever. Especially as there are many who have very little life experience and it is hard to get them to relate to anything at all. The good news at least here is that poetry seems to be appearing in more places. Suspect it is because reading a book takes too long where a poem can be read on the run and certain key words or lines can be remembered, mulled over later. Also a copy can be put on the fridge door. Look forward to more gems from you. All the best for 2022

Oh yeah, people always want you to write something, whether those grey cells are in the mood or not. Nicely done.

i understand THAT feeling. I do better when a topic is actually given to me!! As well as a form to use.

How true....sometimes I think I should be recording all the time. I get ideas in my head and if I don't write them down immediately, they are lost in poetry oblivion. Blessings, Paulette

Hi Paulette, I like this phrase you used, "lost in poetry oblivion":) can I use it as a title or a poem line? Looks inspiring:)

Victor, I liked your limerick very much. I can relate to it. If I don't write something down the minute I think of it I forget it. Happy New Year, Victor. Take care, Shirley

Sometimes after a good night's sleep, the muse returns. I enjoyed this limerick, Victor. Blessings.

Sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't. At some point, it flows freely. A fun Limerick.

I like this one. We all go through this. You probably dreamed about writing poetry or prose all night. I enjoyed reading it. Way to go. I don't know if it is for a contest, but it reads like a winner to me. Way to go. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

This is a beautiful limerick with a perfect visual companion, Victor. It's incredible how our brains work. We don't have to do much more than turn out the lights on certain days. There are moments when our brains go blank. As a consequence, dozing off is preferable to straining our thoughts.

The brain will be brighter in the morning. Enjoyed the read, Victor.

LOL..Victor. Amazing how our brains work. Sometimes we just have to turn off the lights. Happy New Year my friend!

Haha... true Victor... sometimes our mind just does not work... and it's better to get a good sleep, and write the next day, refreshed... God bless... ~ Ani

Beautiful limerick with apt image. Sometimes our mind will be so blank. So instead of racking our head, it is better to go to bed... :) :)
