I wish I could write on a different subject.... :(
Mere Words
Now they are mere words
without poetry
Now they are mere words
staring back at me
Now they sit there
refusing to move
Just black ink on paper
without emotions
Now they are mere words
without poetry
Inspiration, it seems
has forsaken me
Leaving me with
mere words.... syllables
vowels....consonants....
rigid and cold as instructions

... and within mere words lies your poem, and between the lines of this admirably crafted piece lies the sentiment... this is my type of poetry. :)

Such a misery and you portray it poignantly and beautifully as you lie tied up in it. This is excellent!

Ironically, although Inspiration has forsaken you it inspired you to write this wonderful piece. Loved it.
