There are times when you soar into the Heavens, Riding a current of generous applause, Nothing can possibly be better than this, Being accepted as the Poet you are.
Then, the unthinkable happens -
Suddenly, there's a major malfunction! The engine of your creativity stalls! Blinking lights are warning you are out of ink! And your Muse makes off with the last parachute -
SHOOT.
It's not going to be pretty -
The landing, I've heard, is going to be rough, And there will probably be some broken bones (That is, if the fall doesn't kill you outright), And you F A A A A L L L L L L L L L into the maelstrom of mediocrity -
But you'll probably be okay.
(Check poetic conditions before you leave, Make sure your pen passes pre-flight inspection, And, for Heaven's sake, this is MOST important: Make sure that you have an extra parachute!!)
This is so clever, Karla. Very cute and well written. As far as writing is concerned I pretty much fly by the seat of my pants anyway. I am always amazed when something that I write is accepted at all, much less liked...still, I write...because I must write...and I always keep an extra parachute strapped on...just in case.
Take care,
Sherry
darn that's what I always forget to do is check the poetic
conditions no wonder I crash and burn all the time. lol
And don't carry a parachute containing the laundry. ;)
This reminds me of those disaster films they used to show (in particular, "Airport" or the "Airplane!" spoofs!)! Well done; what an imagination you have! Your muse is INSANE!! LOL But I LOVE it; brava! Very well done!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
