I want to write a lot more
amusing little tales
of butterflies and summer
and snails that leave their trails,
but words don’t seem to fit me
I’ve gone poetically mute.
Which doesn’t quite befit me
and isn’t very cute.
I want to write a lot more
amusing little rhymes
of mermaids and of sunshine
of far more innocent times,
but all I seem to write now
describes shadows glumly cast
by realistic sorrows
while re-hashing my own past!
I want to write a lot more
amusing positive stuff
celebrating love and lust,
of which you never get enough!
But lately I’ve seen no sunshine
and far too few snail’s trails
so maybe I just cannot write
any more amusing tales?
This was in part inspired by and entered at One Single Impression Prompt 187 – Amuse.
Fantastic! Truly reflective of my own thoughts recently. Wanted to spin tales of positivity but it just seem a little outta my reach.
Though your piece did a little mood uplift for me:)
Thank you very much! I’m glad if I could bring a smile to your face! *smile*
Wonderful piece !
I’m glad you liked it! *smile*
Hope your ‘voice’ comes back soon. It doesn’t really sound like it is lagging to me!
I never did know how to shut up… 😉 I’ve just got the feeling I’m stuck in ‘same old, same old’ lately… But I keep writing. Hopefully this too shall pass! *big hugs*
This is amusing enough for being mute.
lovely entry.
Thank you! My muse is acting as if she doesn’t have proper coverage on her mobile/cell phone right now… *smile*
beautiful words!
Thank you for commenting! 🙂
