What is your excuse for not writing today?
Come now, is it…“my Muse has gone away?”
Or …the feeble.” I just have no inspiration?”
A feeble excuse for a lack participation.

Slump Swamp Stream
An unfortunate calibre is a turtle turning in a towel. Vast vistas vacate villages videoing vests vehemently And all the time the sleeping beast snores as the cattle drive by in their mooving mobile manufactured machines. It is never wise to sit and stare at...

Trump Slump
The slump is in Trump's egotistic plump;
     as all that pre-election rhetoric begins to change and die,
     fallen to the sides by scary realigned protested cries
     of verbal democrats and republican chides.
Recognize at...

Slump of Thought
1 Subject,
70 Sheet, 
Wide ruled,
Blue main, partially covered in fleece
With 27 blue and 1 red line
3 holes punched
empty circles in time
emptiness of thought
trying to learn things
that can't be taught
no catchy punch lines 
not even a sweet phrase
in act of creative desperation
I write about...... a notebook...

Slump
Slump

(Shakesperean sonnet in Iambic Pentameter)

Sobs, muted sobs, night's harvest of remorse,
spread from the core and dribble through the eyes,
in search of solace on this woeful course,
of bygone suns that shall no longer rise.

Cries, muffled cries, those nightmares of despair,
rise from the pits to choke a...

War Slump
Restoration's grant, the loss of life from War
the handle hot with subsequent encore,
so hot the burn is isolated core,
a ministry of choice, sometimes the store!

Staves not the discontent from trial's abhor
that waste, that infamous consent's implore
why festering its dullish mindsets bore
Experience, that solemn trials hurt's...

the slump
The slump
My doctor, like many medics, knows little concerning 
diabetes, but she does her share of guessing and gives advice according to her assumption
Cheer up, she says, you look sad.
Depression is a part of the illness, walking on a treadmill of illusion to stave off...

An Approaching Cow With a Hump
An approaching cow with a hump?
Definitely, I shall do a jump!
Together with Safety clump …

But I shan’t into another bump 
Nor bash head against a pump
Nor what would me in clinic dump
Nor find me nursing a stump
And off showing a swollen lump …

With a crash...
