Slump
I fall into pits very often; you would think I’d be an expert by now.
I managed to make it halfway up until my foot slipped. Tumbling down into the earth once again, hitting my head on a shovel that was carelessly left in the corner. I picked up the shovel, thinking maybe I can dig

Dog-Tired
Used to gad about town as such in my day
but don't get around much anymore
conked out zonked out
(perchance to dream)
I prefer to remain
housebound indoors
yes it's an age-old refrain
my dogs are barking
and my best guess they may really be
completely up the wrong tree entirely
but my best bet yet feeling my years
(the weight of the world)
I'm

Overcoming Writers Slump
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.
Here is a tip tp get your creative pen to flow.
Once it begins to move, it is your show!
Like a powerful lawn mower, the pen

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 a coma that hangs onto the sick like an ill-fitting

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 gloomy soul,
and waken corpses from commitments’ lair,
where pledges gather dust

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 into A hump
The least for one instant slump:
Be you Ted,

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 before!
A stable sign of entity, full spore
collaboration entity's restore
of ethics

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 last, all the lies unrevealed in the past

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 such a display of destruction. For restrictions can even be

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 page
