Obligatory poem #14
Can’t keep my eyes open.
The jet lag has pounced.
I have no ideas,
not even an ounce.
Ten minutes have passed
since I wrote that last verse.
The buzz in my head
is just getting worse.
Another twelve minutes!
Such time this is taking.
It looks like a poem,
but really it’s faking.
My sister is waiting.
What time is it? Crap!
It’s time to go visit;
I just want to nap.
Please tell me this poem
is done for today.
Sometimes it’s a chore --
get it out of the way.

No one to blame but myself. I apologize for this shite, but I promised myself I would post all my poems this month no matter how crappy.

I think this is brilliant! It needs illustrations of haggard looking poets, tremendous cups of coffee/tea, and lots and lots of pencils and eraser squiggles. hahahahahahah!!! perfect little picture book for NaPo poets! well done.

I put myself through the April poem a day routine a couple of years ago and while I got some good poems out of it I also wrote a lot of those poems feeling the way I feel when I get the Duolingo reminder from my phone.
Ultimately though, I realized that deadline pressure isn't what makes or breaks a poem.
My best poems were written soon after waking up from a good nights sleep.
As for your obligatory poem, I'd say it was pretty damn good!

Whether it's writing about writer's block or writing for the sake of writing, the brain spits out the truth and you formulated it well, regardless of frustration or inspiration.
Nice job
