Forge ahead. by Yardier
Free Verse Poem contest entry

Lots of thoughts
Knots of thoughts

Bound and gagged
Thoughts restrained

Inkless pen
Pencil lead

Typewriter mute
Laptop frozen

Barking dog
Cat purring

Parrot squawking
Coffee Perking

Close the case
Thrill is gone

Gutless thought
Anxiety fraught

Lead bell
Writer's hell

Tapping fingers
Tired eyes

Another cup
Caffeine luck

Forge ahead
Forge ahead

Author Notes
Sometimes, and much too often, the brain housing group and inkwell have gone Mojave Desert dry. Nothing there except cactus, Gila monsters and rattle snakes. Might as well fire up the forge and start beating and smelting the dross and slag out of the gold God has given to you.
