Lost and found

I never fight the desire to write, but when the ink well is dry I just sit tight until I have the will to write. Quote by Poet


I regret I’ve not been around 
I’m upset with my wayward muse 
She’s been cruising, I thought she’d drowned 
I regret I’ve not been around 
My trusty pen has now been found 
Poetic gems you can peruse 
I regret I’ve not been around 
I’m upset with my wayward muse
