I Can'T Think Of A Poem Today! Poem by Isaac Maliya

Today, I am stuck
Ideas crisscross hazily
No strands make sense
To mature into a case
I can’t think of a poem today!

Today, I am thick
Words flash my mind
From letter to syllable to word
No strands make a point
To mature into a poem
I can’t think of a poem today!

Today, I am trash
I search for words of all colours
Squeezing my brains, flapping
Pages of my vocabulary, nothing!
No strands make sense
To mature into a poem
I can’t think of a poem today!

Dedication: To all poets, who share the frustration of trying to come up with a poem!
