Woeful Are the Clumsy Who Chase Inspiration
By Maureen Donatelli
By Maureen Donatelli
There they go again
another flit of words
faint sounds teasing
my mind
reaching
quick
making a
grab
stumbling
clownish
falling
forward
into darkness
and I am left
with the lightest laughter
gleeful
wispy
carried on fairy dust
drifting away
while the words
of some other
far more agile poet
rest solidly
in my lap.
I think you summed this up beautifully.
Yes, indeed.
