When I started to write my poem today, my thoughts were blank. So, I wrote a poem about it.

Blank


Sometimes just shooting blanks,
and never racking up a score.
Nothing left in the bare bank,
like nothing was there, before.

Looking out at a beautiful day,
with nothing but a blank stare.
Straining eyes to see the light,
finding nothing moving there.

Staring at a blank canvas,
wanting to connect the dots.
With no dots to connect,
empty holes filling blank spots.

While swearing blankety-blank,
couldn't find slippery words.
They were censored anyway,
by bots pretending to be nerds.

So, if you're ever feeling blank,
fill in the empty space.
Looking for it the next day,
will not even find a trace.

On this International Poetry Day
I send greetings to Author Poet Ronald W. Hull.

The exquisite word play of this poetic opus makes it glow on constellation Creativity like a brilliant cut piece of flawless diamond.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Blank" for its poetic psychoanalytical contents, and rhythmic sublime voice.

Viva the Poet!

In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

But your blanks evolved into something very interesting...
So perhaps they never existed at all!

Best wishes, Diana...

I truly find it hard to believe that you, of all people here on the den, would be like a blank slate with regards writing. You always have so much to say and such great ways of saying it...-e-

Maybe feeling "blank" in my mind might be a welcome rest at times. Lol! Your perspective made me think.

Thank you for your comment on "Mystical Love." Yes, I do have someone like that in my life and I am grateful.

I always appreciate your insightful comments, Ron. Love and peace,

Regis

This has been the story of my life for a while now. I fill in that blank page every so often, but the focus and concentration just hasn't been there as often as I would like.

A Yeats Tribute to Mary Ann!

Patrick’s Elegy for Mary Ann

From Dr. Patrick A ODougherty

Hello and Good Bye,
Patrick’s Sorrow,

Mary Ann’s ashes are moving through the waters of many peoples.
This elegy is a last presented tribute of her death.
I speak to her ashes and to Mandala.
Terrible fate has carried Mary Ann away from us, companeros.
Our sister, Mary Ann, tragically killed.
Meanwhile this song and her Mandala recordings stand as burial customs for her ancestors “In the cool of the evening.”
Remember her songs with honey and jasmine and forever, sister, hail and good bye.

Men are much better about thinking about NOTHING. Comedians have told great jokes about this. I think it's true. Sometimes it's a good place to be. Zoned out blank might be even good for you! ............yea!

Perhaps merely the calm before the storm. Being a prolific writer, that poem is on its way.
