Nary a thought

On By adamcallahan117In Short PoemsLeave a comment

I had not oft questioned my earthly path

Until I found the road came to an end—

Not just an end, a cliff before me then—

No way to turn but back to what I knew

And question then did I all that I knew

The birds, the skies, my God, the very ground

Each thing that once was sure I’ve questioned since

My path was found to end with nar’ a thought

Sonnet 11 – Breakdown

On By adamcallahan117In Short Poems, SonnetsLeave a comment

Alas! As if my brain had turnt to sludge
I’ve lost my will to write; each lonely drop
Of creativity won’t spark, won’t budge
They each insist they cease, desist, and stop

My lexicon’s diminished, torn to shreds
I’m scarce able to rhyme, resigned to plod
Along all day until it’s time for bed(s)
And write, ‘blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah’.(d)

Not long before the meter will succumb
To frazzled, twisted thoughts that can’t quite form
Coherent, structured sentences dumb
They make so little sense anymore

Perhaps I’ll turn to reading now instead
Perhaps somehow it can reset my head
