the sky was gorgeous today
did you see it?
omg, it was
amazing
i struggled to name it
but ended up slack jawed
stuck in my tracks
wordslayed
thoughts tangled like kite strings
in Charlie Brown treetops
ARRGH!
so frustrating
and all i could think of
were well trodden verses
balding adjectives
and mucky cliches
so no river of beauty today
from this dammed up poet
just a muddle of
thud
oh well
you had to be there,
my dears
cuz the sky was gorgeous today

Too glorious to capture and put down in a verse, hey :-) Enjoyed your take on the prompt ~
ReplyDeletehey any sky that will rob you of your words has to be good...smiles...like the charlie brown refs...the argh and the thud...hope the landing wasnt too hard, but at least you got the view...smiles.
ReplyDeleteNo muddling, mucking Pie in the sky words from me ~ I loved your poem!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm wordslayed.
And "balding adjectives". Wish I'd said that.
And I may, still. :-)
