First of the Month Rations
A Desire to Write, But So Few Braincells to Do It
It's December, and the sun may be shining
But the wind is biting.
I felt the need to write,
yet none of my ideas are quite right.
I am tip-tapping away on my laptop
and hoping this little poem won't be a flop.
I met my NaNo goal of 15k,
which I consider a huge success,
as I did it while my mind was in a fray.
Why are we as writers frequently in mental duress?
So scatterbrained and disjointed
and yet so linguistically anointed?
Was that pretentious? Perhaps a little contentious?
Well, I just needed to get some words off my chest,
so thanks for reading - despite it not being my best!

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
