Elusive

I’m sorry
Words escape me
It happens at times
They are so damned slippery
So elusive
I reach out
Gone
Like they were never there
So I sit
In silence
Envying you your words
Until mine
Come back again
As they always do

sometimes words are like abandoned children looking for a home ... when they find one, they smile with glee ...

But the quiet ones are thought to be the wise ones.

I once just put on a blank page. Titled me naked in the snow. It one of my most looked at poem type thingy.

If I dry up I think of silly made up words like -piddle eye poe- or noodle naddle needle. Bang poem..
