Blankness

there's a quiescent muse locked away in a poet's mind trapped in the hush of silence that befalls amidst blank pages his pen sits in a well suspended inkless of time unable to scribble words of romance in verses no morning rises risen through his mind to brighten days that linger without sun just a hush in the chill of january that sits blank like this snow staring back *someone's words are missing at soup...i used to look forward to the morning rises in verses that he penned... was bummed on this chilly morning to see nothing new once again*

I like this poem. The imagery of the snow fits well with a blank page.

I know what you mean--perhaps a soup mail to him?

They are missed when they are gone. Though I have disappeared too. It happens :(

The worst nightmare of a poet: a sea of ink that can't fill a page with verses! If only he could listen to his Muse instead of pushing his mind to write! Well written dearest Sandra! Hugs xxx
