Keith Bickerstaffe Poet Verse

Inspiration!

Sitting at the keybored
symbols mired in my head,
lacking inspiration, filled with exasperation,
I think that I'll just hobble back to bed!

Images of castles and damsels in distress
are not forthcoming, would be quite becoming,
right now I'd take a wrestler in a dress.

A wrestler in a dress! now there's a picture!
something to pique my poor beleaguered soul;
he sports a tutu quite delectable, not at all prim 
and respectable, and by no measure neglectable,

I'm finally on a roll!

Yoni Dvorkis January 12, 2009 at 8:06 PM I guess this is the closest you can come to writer's block:) Very nice. Excuse me while I look up beleaguered.

Michelle Mac Donald January 12, 2009 at 9:31 AM LOL..this is a fun poem, Keith. I suppose when it comes to inspiration, it's 'whatever turns your crank'. I hope yours wasn't being turned by this wrestler...they look to be very strong, and not always so delicate. One of my sons loved wrestling; I always wondered how they could leave the ring without a stretcher. Blessings to you...Love, Mikki
