In Need Of A Fix

I had no writing pad
While driving my car
My hand itched, to hold
Within a pen.

I had no writing pad
The ink in my pen
Dripped within it's sheath
(My shirt pocket)
As a man having a wet dream.

Words floating inside my head
Were slowly evaporating
Into the limbo
Of poetic verses lost
What am I going to do?
I asked myself
While I was driving.

Patting down myself
Feeling the outer areas
Of my clothing pockets
Like a cop frisking
A perpetrator
Of a Minor infraction
Searching for a pen.

I had no writing pad
To record
These moments of insanity
I feel like a junkie
Drastically
In Need Of A Fix.

Am I crazy?
Because my thoughts
Are fading
Into the nothingness
Of nonsense, or because
In the clove compartment
Of my car
I had no writing pad.

You describe it perfectly William! A poet without pas and pen gets the same cravings as any other addict, and to lose the words of a poem can't be tolerated;-) Superb poem!

Write single words that will spark memories later on your hands...I found it to work so if a fix you need, I think this can help... Ed

I always have a pad of paper in the car. What's missing, is often THE PEN! Good job.

Spoken like only a true poet and writer can, William! I've gotten into the habit of having a notebook and pen on the seat beside me when I drive. Of course, much of what I've written when I get where I'm going is totally unreadable to anyone but me, but it works! I like how you think, my friend! Now I don't feel like I'm strange at all ... LOL
Love,
CJ

I gave up on writing pads and bought myself a tiny voice recorder that I can keep with me at all times...much easier to push a button and talk than try to write it down...great write my friend enjoyed and can relate well.

I feel your pain and I solved that problem. I keep a pad attached to a clipboard with a pen attached by cord and I reach for it, sit it on the armrest of my SUV and write away when I'm at a traffic light.
It works great for those Muse moments.
Love,
Susan

Happens to most of us. Sometimes such poems come when I'm falling asleep. By morning they evaporate like early fog. Victor

I understand this very well, William. A few days ago, while at the park, I could not find a working pen so I used my eyeliner;) Recording device is a great idea.

"In Need Of A Fix" Wonderfully written!

Thank you

Such a dilemma to be in for sure, but I think Mr. Ed has given you good advise; a tape recorder would do the job for you.

I sadly know the feeling, William. Get yourself a tiny voice recording device, they are great for verbally penning those thoughts while driving.
