To Do...

Check out my book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, on Amazon.com

There is a
force at work that
doesn't want me
to write.
There's always
something vying for
my attention.
The phone rings,
the kittens want
played with,
I get horny.
All I have to
do is think about
writing, and the
next thought is
I should take
a nap.

To read about
writing
isn't enough.
To promote my
writing won't cut
it either.
To finish one more
poem, to communicate
something worthwhile
is what will help
me sleep tonight, and
keep the undertaker
lonely and afraid.

To communicate something worthwhile... you do my friend, you do

[Thomas W Case]

Thanks, John

[John the Baptist]

Liked especially the last lines. The need to get the next poem written is what is important. Extended time with nothing inspiring me makes me antsy.

[Thomas W Case]

I agree. Thank you for the read and review.

[Stella Armour]

these muses do make life difficult at times, when you are relaxed and want to write they are absent , else the world wants your attention.
i find poems come to me in the night and keep me awake
