Whatever, Now What Can I Write?
Too many thoughts not going anywhere right
My direction right now is nonsense
I know it makes no sense
how can I be productive when I am
not going anywhere but I am not Sam
Mary is Sam, I am Estey Lindquist
~
I thought maybe the medicine wheel
someone wants more of this to heal
Then I thought what about my prompts
I feel a break from prompts coming from psychopomps
Nice Denise! Okay, I’m talking to myself
~
Then there was the idea of NaNoWriMo
that will be here before I know
It is November for some that do not go
there with writing 50,000 words in a month
It is a discipline I can hardly stand, so
today is only October eleventh
Put those thoughts away for now
~
Why not write about writing
is that what this is I’m typing
Is it still typing? Or keyboarding
I am getting old. I can talk about that
all day long, but boring is what the brat
will say today.
~
I call him brat and he says okay sassifrat
There are always plenty of stories about the rat
Did I tell you he left a mouse trap on the
kitchen counter and grossed me out yaaa
there was a recent dead mouse in that
~
No writing about hubby today I say
How about writing poetry then okay
This would count as nonsense may
be. Not quite rhyming but close today
they say it will be a beautiful day
I will be visiting with Kathleen Yaay
Time to finish this rhyme.
no more rhyme time.
