Poetry Thing Does Not Always Go Easy

I will use some lovely words today. I am determined to use words like gossamer, gauzy, delight, nirvana, heavenly, and what the heck? Who is knocking on my door like that? Putting me in a bad mood. It sounds like they are pounding the house down. It is my dog, who cannot get into her doggie door with the stuffed duck in her mouth. Okay. Where was I? I have a word list of all the most romantic, poetic words imaginable. Words I rarely use. Words like luna, cosmic, mystical, Ophelia, roses, demon lover, allure, alight, uplift. Crumb! Who is in my driveway? I hate it when a truck stops here. The dog goes crazy, breaking my concentration. Oh, a good friend, who wants to paint today. Yes, I can easily switch gears. This poetry thing is not working a bit anyway…..

Hahaha...I've had those days too; I hate them, especially since I end up not accomplishing anything. Good luck getting through it.

I manage believe me! Ignoring certain parts of myself and the woeful dog who just wants to nap constantly.
