Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Give Myself a Mental Shake

These days my mind is a blank page.
This dreary weather offers no inspiration.
I dream of sun and warm sand on toes
And having fun in a far off destination.

I need some heat in my body and soul.
Someone to revive the spirit within me.
Too long I've lived under these overcast skies.
I long for the spring to set my heart free.

I wish for romance to blossom in spring.
To renew my soul with the budding new season.
It's time for some changes in life and attitude.
I've let this gloomy weather affect my reason.

A mental shake I will give myself,
No longer blame the weather for the state of my mind.
Around the corner spring is waiting for me
And just maybe a special someone, I will find.

My writing has been on a shelf for days now.
The pen left idle with nothing to do
But I need to dust it off and focus my mind
On lifting my spirits, start writing anew.

Carrie Richards February 16, 2011 at 2:03 PM Each one of us has felt this lack of inspiration.....indeed the sun or the lack of it, can work either way....but I'm with you...a little sun, a little spark would be nice to shake away the dust!
