Where Is That Poem

Where is that poem that left me last night
  Why didn't I pick up a pen and write

down those wonderful words of wisdom, so
  they would be with me yet at dawn's first glow

I lose more than I write so this resonates with me.

You mean there are 11,000 C.K. poems floating around in the atmosphere somewhere?! -- HOly Guacamele'

I know what that is like! I was lucky recently, when some Haiku came to me as I was going to sleep and I remembered most of them in the morning. Great one Gershon. I hope you have a nice day :)

You actually remembered those poems from the night?! That's terrific. I just remember nightmares. Oh, well...

A poet/writers nightmare, if you dont write straight away it vanishes in that poetic backhole. Tom

You'd think maybe that 'poetic backhole' -- I think you meant black hole, perhaps --- would be clogged by now. ~ Astral Wanderer

Hi Gershon, I can relate to this poem a lot; that has happened to me several times. I enjoyed the read. Have a good evening:-) Alexis

It happens to all of us, G.W. Now, I have my I-Phone by my bed and I use the "list" function to job down words and rhymes that come to me.

You are a smart dude. I almost always forget to put something near me, and then I regret it in the morning. Oh, well...
