Critquing the Elf within the Self

Of late I have noticed a lack,


A lack of inward sight,


Outwardly as well my sight has little light,


There was a time when all I could do was write…


 


Philosophy, Nature, humor and more,


Now my ability seems to have left me,


Maybe it has stayed by the shore,


Therein though I cannot blame it for sure,


I just wish the rest of me could as well stay by the sea…


 


Too watch the self and keep it in line,


Try to write poems that attract feelings so fine,


Keeping the proverbial eye on the self,


Not allowing my muse to be over-abused,


By my little writers elf…

Now my ability seems to have left me,
Maybe it has stayed by the shore,

Well, then march right down to that beloved shore of yours and retrieve it; Rufuz can probably train you. Go Fetch!

The best way to beat writer's block is get a stack of them beautiful yellow-bordered zines. You know what I'm talking about. National Geographics. Garage sale treasures ... the old issues. It's what I do. And a glass or two of wine and I'm a happy camper. You be the same, Ed. The net research is boring. Lots of ideas for your writing in Geos. Snuggle up with a stack, a tonic, your significant other, Rufuz, and your muse and elf. I'll guarantee it will shed you some new light! I am researching articles on sea stuff. Like old ship wrecks and the clay jars and skulls. Interesting stuff for a write. You need to resurface.
