I Waited Too Long To Write Them Down

Sixteen poems and a song came flying out of my head yesterday.
I was going to write them down, but my muse started to sway.
Soon we were dancing and laughing, and twirling our day away.
So here I sit with absolutely no ideas at all, on the very next day.

The more I try to force a poem, the faster my head turns to clay.
If I keep trying any harder, it will stop being happy, merry or gay.
I guess I am resigned to my fate, learning my lesson the worst way.
Next time I hear sixteen poems I will write them down right away.

If I get a line or two for a poem and I don't write it down, it goes into the ethereal realm and I never hear from it again.
