Head Chasing Tail

i was downstairs watching TV; a poem birthed to mind; i paused the show and ran upstairs; immediately had no idea what my "inspiration" had been. so here to you now is my head chasing tail.

Head Chasing Tail

I lost the most important elf

my thoughts to write and bring 

to you my friends and neighbors same;

a place where angels sing.

you see my friends, as muse unfurled

my hand was not so quick

i could not find a paper scrap

nor pen nor candles wick;

and so in darkness i appealed

to memory short and lost

to clue to me the mystery

of poems lost in frost.

I had a great review all ready to go, but my fingers forgot what my mind said lol. Personally, I can not relate to this at all...smirk. A friend of mine suggested a pocket recorder. A great idea, if I could remember to get one when I'm out.
You are a phenomenal writer, E!

Ha. How many poems I lost when there was not a smart phone handy to jot them down. I have written on leaves, scratched into birch bark, and yes, frost on a window pane. When the muse hits, you gotta jot it down.
