Robin L. Gass Poet Light Verse

Help!

NEED HELP!  I can't stop thinking
and I don't know what to do
the words they keep on coming
seems that they are never through.

How they grow and multiply
and fill up all my brain
which is now in overflow
and driving me insane!

I think they plan to drown me
in a poets wordy sea
need a way to slow the words
still growing inside me.

I really need some answers
and I really need them fast!
Can anybody HELP ME?
Worried how long I will last!

Trapped in a poets nightmare
knowing if they go away
I will want them back again
and for them I will pray!

Carolyn Devonshire February 16, 2009 at 9:47 AM Robin, you certainly don't drown in "a poet's wordy sea." You have mastered the talent to craft short, beautiful verses that hit the target. Alas, 'til I who drowns in that sea. This is such a nice read, and I'm sure many of us on Poetrysoup can relate to the feeling of having words "growing inside" them! And thanks for directing me to Brian's explanation of the footle. As for me, "Keep tryin', ain't rhymin'." See, still too many syllables! Carolyn

John Rhinem February 16, 2009 at 8:03 AM Smile~You always seem to have an over-flowing of words, rushing through your wonderful thoughts dear lady!!!~"Hello Precious & Gifted & Beautiful Robin!!!"~Well, my sincere advice would be, always carry a note pad and pen with you~even by your bedside let them wait~until, there is no denying, that the wonderfully word filled dam is about to break....cont....
