she stalks me

242 9 13
                                    

Inspiration does not follow me

So that I can turn around and

Chat her up for a bit

Rather she stalks me

Sticking to the shadows,

Creeping behind me, out of sight

Only to spring out and attack

So that I must always

Be prepared with pen in hand

And paper at the ready

To capture the words that

She lets seep into the soul

And hammer into the brain

Before slinking back into the fringe.

this poem came about after three hours - THREE HOURS - of attempting to write a paper only to come up with half a page (of a really bad run on sentence that i kept only to alleviate the grief that i didn't accomplish anything at all)...out of about 15 that is due in a few days. thank you writers block...keep to the shadows please from now on.
