Stranded Words

nothing came to me today
not a word
not a scent
nothing new or exotic
nothing old or worn

no lonely lingering feeling
flooding over the paper
no sad tormented wave
washing up letters
nor the nervous restless tide
threatening to make my pen flow over
nor a hopeless floundering metaphor
for me to save.

I can relate to this event or feeling washing all over me, once in while. I feel very lost and upset when I have it and feel very happy and relieved when my pen seems to sing again. Very nice poem Gry! Enjoyed it. :) best to you! xxxx D.
