Drowning in Inspiration
Plausible only to me
Drowning in inspiration while parched for new ideas
Starving for innovation, thoughts barking like hyenas
Overrun with determination and not a thought in sight
Blinded by revelation, but not one word looks right
-
The lines they flow like water, then hit a concrete wall
Begging at the altar of “this sucks, delete all”
Creativity unconfined, yet muzzled like a dog
Aha moment divined while damned by judgement gods
-
Suggestions warmly welcomed, then tossed away like fodder
New musings beckoned, no better than the others
Ingenuity non-existent, intention slowly clears
Brain waves more consistent, going utterly nowhere
-
Impressions overwhelming, none within my reach
Pondering finished product never to be breached
Sudden surge of notion, no resolution promised
Dancing on void concepts, slipping on word vomit
-
Birthing imagination for the entire world to see
Drowning in inspiration, plausible, if only to me

Another Excellent work of art ❤️
Oh, this is so relatable! Especially just talking to you about having a hard time with the challenge. 😅 You worded this so well. I would say I'm kinda between the "Creativity unconfined, yet muzzled like a dog" and "Begging at the altar of “this sucks, delete all” stages. 🫠 Amazing work!!
So relatable! Well done again, Cathy!
Gosh that first stanza, even just the first line, just kills it outta the park. Fantastically written
Good job!! So many times I can relate😉
Very relatable poem! This was a great way to deal with a lack of new ideas.
Excellent. I feel those words.
Excellent words and so glad you are writing again
This was very relatable. I love metawriting and enjoyed your poem a lot!
