My poetry’s gone,

I don’t know where,

I can’t think of what to write I swear,

But somewhere deep,

In the back of my mind,

Is a verse, a story or nursery rhyme,

As yet unwritten,

Therefore unread,

That’s tormenting me, in the back of my head,

Is it tragic? Or joyous?

I haven’t a clue,

A fictional tale? Or historically true ?

Is the hero a Troll? A man? or a mouse?

I can’t seem to focus on what it’s about,

But it has to be written,

Or it will drive me insane,

Oh! Damn it, Oh! Damn it, I’ve lost it again,

Now, was it going to be funny?

Or was it going to be sad?

I can’t seem to remember the stanza’s I had,

Was it poetry? Prose?

Or maybe a song?

I had it just now but it seems to be gone,

Washed from my mind,

Like the tides ebb and flow,

My poetry’s gone, wasn’t I telling you so?.
