Bootless Winks
My dreams now come reluctantly
and disincline to stay,
as if an exorbitant fee
was keeping them away.
It seems that fee is misery,
as so often it will be,
kind of like a dysentery...
suffered subconsciously.
I would, If could, track down the source
of muse abandonment;
it's like I woke into divorce,
and sterile settlement...
all too, too much like death itself,
or likewise piss-poor sleep,
cursed by a hypnopompic elf...
not letting slumber keep!

Wow! Most can't express themselves when the muse disappears! You made it look easy.

It's been well over a week since something pen worthy hit my brain.
I was starting to freak out.

Writer's block is for sure a bummer, and I regret that it is horribly boastful to say that I never need poetry prompts, but the downside is that I run the risk of going awhile, here and there, without anything to say. It's all got to do with wanting to keep my content as original as possible, even if I wind up painting myself as a jerk:)
And whatever I have to say has to dovetail neatly into the narrow confines of how exactly I wish to present it, which can be a boat anchor to poetic progress in its own right.
We must all proceed as best we see fit to be true to our art, eh?
