Ode To a Lost Thought

There is a vast chasm
Between my mind and the pen
To the page

Solid knock on the head
Or happensubstance
I'll just blame it on age

This is precise the advice that I give my students. There is a vast distance between what is in the mind and what lies on the page. John

A very warm and humorous poem, Maureen. I smiled as I read this poem. How 'bout blaming it on being adrift in peaceful revelry. You have a charming way w/words, dear. Cool little poem. Love and hugs.
