The Poems I Never Wrote
“Time waiting to be inspired is time wasted. When inspiration throttles your neck, go to your desk”- By Poet
With no cover ups, let me be frank
At times my mind goes utterly blank
When I sit down to write poems,
From topic to topic, my mind roams.
But nothing comes to spark off a rhyme
Often, I feel the words do not chime
Today I sat down to write something
And ended up conjuring nothing
No thoughts came up to stir my brain
And no topic I found save my strain
But I wasn’t wilfully ready to give up
And waited impatient for my mind to clear up
I don’t know how long I sat in meditation
On waking up I got a fresh direction
I must wait and need to be really inspired
And poems can’t be squeezed out uninspired
The sun had gone out of sight
The moon was beautiful and bright
It was already growing late
And I put off my futile fight
