I'm sitting me down here
Trying to write what to share
I'm thinking of something
But I don't know about what yet
Still, you bet, I'm thinking about it
And when I get it, I will write it
It will come, in fact, that I know
Still what it is, I know not yet
It maybe a poem or it may be a story
Yet at this point it seems gloomy
I need to enhance my thinking
In order to move away the gloom
And give my views room to bloom
Then once my writing is done
All readers may share the fun
As they read what I was thinking
Even though I didn't really know
What I was thinking of writing
It's only at the finish I know
With understanding, what it is
For guess what, it's a poem
Appears out of the gloom,
Here it is ready to bloom
Guess what! it was fun!

Clarence is yet another PH poet who has disappeared from my view. But, despite PH's shortcomings, since a year ago, PH continues to provide free access to such works. Bravo. bri ;)
A nice poem that describes the situations when a poet wants to write something but he is not focussed on what to write about. The third stanza was particularly good.
A poet's restless heart, his gloom and frustration when he is finding no poetic inspiration to write a poem has been expressed so wonderfully in this poem.Many of us find in this situation.Your poem speaks for me too.Thanks for sharing.
It maybe a poem or it may be a story............or a story in a poem? i'd use may be in both places. :) favorite lines: For guess what, it's a poem Appears out of the gloom, Here it is ready to bloom Guess what! it was fun! ...................congratulations on writing another nice one. and for having fun...........................................................doing it, AND another for MyPoemList. i ESPECIALLY enjoyed this one. but................no mention of God! ! ! ? well, maybe He was hiding somewhere in the poem and i did not notice. bri :)

I read it with a smile. There are times I sit down to write and have absolutely no idea what to write about- - -that is when I page through my past starts and ramble through them looking for a spark but sometimes I'm still left in the dark and sometimes my Guess What doesn't happen whereupon I go call one of my daughters. Love your sense of humor here, Clarence!
