Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

No Muse Is Good Muse

It gives me a giggle, cos wouldn’t you know it
Soup labelled me international poet
But frankly my head is depleted of rhyme
I’ve scratched my head now for a fairly long time
All that I write I just quit and don’t save
I can’t post that crap, I’m not stupid nor brave
I sat here to write something witty or fun
To welcome you all to the year just begun
But I find no words neither profound nor clever
So don’t hold your breath or you’ll hold it forever
So, sorry to say there’s no poetry here
You’ll just have to settle for...

‘Happy New Year’

Ed Morris January 1, 2019 at 12:23 AM Happy New Year to you as well, Terry. You must be imbibing in something, because that poem works just fine. :-) Terry Flood January 1, 2019 at 2:39 AM Thanks Ed. I think it will just take a spark of inspiration to tune me back in. That could be today, next week or in half an hour. Sometimes if inspiration is lacking I’ll think of an old joke and make a poem out of it... hmmm...

Line Gauthier December 31, 2018 at 8:14 PM Love it, Terry. Your muse is just fine. She's just having her way with you. Terry Flood December 31, 2018 at 8:16 PM Thanks Line. Lost it once and it was six months before I wrote about twenty poems in a week... I shall return...
