Ho-Hum Returns

   Oh, True Inspiration! Where have you been
     Can't you see the abominable shape my poetry's in

   Bring back the celebration, the excitation
     the fascination, the transformations 

   Huh? Whuss that? You're on permanent vacation?
     Oh, well. Ho-hum. Back to 'social justice agitation'

Jeanette Swan Date: 1/29/2024 8:22:00 PM I laughed out loud at the last line! I reckon listening to repeats of the news, stirs up the social agitation, sadness and frustration that can make one sort of poetry but not the other. Time spent one on one with a dear one, or small child or dog outdoors slows things down and is poetic in itself I think. Seasons of life :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/29/2024 8:56:00 PM I agree with you, Jeanette. The medium of poetry works best with the special moments as well as with previously undiscovered perceptions of what we call 'ordinary.' Thank you for your insightful comment. Blessings and bounty, Gershon
