Not Her Day To Write

She struggles to get out words That never say enough Not as clear as she hoped Never conveying What she wanted to say Feelings on paper She stares Disappointed Discouraged Angry at herself They are bland, Stale, overused. Under baked or overcooked. She crumples up a page Begins again Throwing this clump Onto the sea of clumps Around her desk chair Begins again. And again. And again. Maybe it’s not her day to write.

We all get those days, then other times words are overflowing day and night. Best to never force it, just wait for the words to flow. A well written piece Caren. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thank you Ann. If I had not found two poetry sites with contests I would probably not be writing. These writing prompts have been a God-send to me!

Maybe she has nothing to write now...still in the observational stage...writers should grow into their poetry...

Growing into my poetry - I like that! This makes sense.
