Not Writing Today

Our words today are disjointed, banal, bland, maybe nonexistent.
No emotions attached, for words are not even peeking out of crevices.
My muse is apathetic, emotionless, uninterested, uncommunicable.
I sense a nonproductive day, or at least a nonproductive hour or two.
Nothing is written, and I feel okay about it.

Hello Caren, sometimes our muse is tired so needs a rest from writing. That is a great time to get new ideas for poetry. Hugs.

Hello Caren, to listen to the quiet is when i hear my ghost writer saying --write about this. I never know when I will get an idea. Hugs.

I understand how this can happen. The writing flow always returns :)

Tell Trixie I waited all day for the latest and had about given up. Here it is 11:18pm. Oh well...sometimes I feel like a nut; other times not so much. I've been going through as low spell. Hard to think when you have a hacking cough!

This is the deal - I have been to Omaha Nebraska and back in one day - a three.five hour drive each direction, and I attended a first communion of my granddaughter Daisy, so there was no way I could post poems until I returned at 9:30 last night. I left at 7:00 a.m.
