#17 of National Poetry Writing Month

Poem number 17 for National Poetry Month is about... well... my lack of ideas. XD Seriously I wrote this because I couldn't think of anything else. And what happens? I get a great idea halfway through it. Oh well. That will have to wait until tomorrow.

* * *

Sometimes my mind is  
overflowing with so many  
ideas that I can barely find  
room to shelve them all.

Ideas for stories and poems  
come so quickly that it's  
almost overwhelming.

The urge to write, to compose  
to create is irresistible. It doesn't  
matter if it's on a computer a  
piece of paper, or hurried notes  
on my phone. I have to get it out  
somehow. Someway. Any way.

Other times my mind is silent  
stubbornly keeping its secrets  
and well of inspiration shut up  
tightly so no one can open it.

Sometimes my thoughts move  
so quickly my fingers can't go   
fast enough to keep up.

Then there are times when I   
sit here staring at my computer  
waiting for an idea. A thought.  
A passing glimmer of inspiration  
only to end up tapping my fingers  
and staring at the clock.

Sometimes there is so much activity  
in my mind that I would do anything  
to quiet it down.

Other times I find myself alone   
in silence.
