Words and Phrases

Some days,
  the words are quite prolific.
Other days
  not all that terrific.
Some moments
  the words and phrases race
while other times
  barely proceeding at a snail's pace.
Today,
  they are somewhere in the middle.
Tell me why
  can anyone answer this riddle?
For awhile
  there were years of constant writing
then came the gaps most unfilled
  as if thought and expression were dieting.
The rhyme and the rhythm
  seems to come and go
like the weather
  sometimes hot sometimes cold.
