Cliche'

Oh, how I wanted to write something today,
I thought that I might have something witty to say.
Alas, all my thoughts are at bay,
My mind, sometimes, even myself I betray.
So I will have to continue in dismay,
That I didn't write anything new today.
As the thought process has been washed away,
My words are stuck in a mind of clay.
But tomorrow is another day,
I may have written something by then I pray.
For the creative juices only flow this way,
I feel it, I think about it, then begin to type away.
My words are not memorable in the things I say,
It's just that I like to write some thoughts each day.
But when my brain keeps saying "Nay",
I just have to go with the old cliche',
"Tomorrow is another day!"

I think most writers will relate to this one. Yes, when the words don't flow, we do need to remember that the muse ususally does return. Sometimes, one just needs a little break. If this is for the contest, best wishes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your kind comment. Karen

May I thank you for your comment the other day? Funny thing about writing. Sometimes the desire and inspiration is not there. It's exactly as you say here. Fortunately, words always seem to come back--keep up the good write.

We all have days like that, Daniel, when we have to deal with "a mind of clay." But I dare say, that's not the case today. Your mind seems to be working very well in monorhyme. Isn't this a great form? Well done! Love, Carolyn
