Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Elusive Ideas get the Best of Me

I reached up into my mind
but she skidded away
she was flirty and flighty with me
what can I say?

Another elusive thought came by
She was lost before I could even try

Three great writing prompts escaped me in the last minute or two.
Do your ideas often do this to you?
