A Poem about Nothing in Particular

A Poem about Nothing in Particular

A Poem by Isabel25
"

I wanted to write, but couldn't come up with a good topic

"

Slow submersion in bottomless boredom,

Mind seething, fingers itching.

“Type!” hollers the blank document,

As brain beckons to poetic genius.

Piggy-bank of thoughts rattles,

Skim... scan...skip!

‘Nature’? monotonously misinterpreted,

‘Friendship’? overtly overrated,

Love’? slightly sickening,

‘Heartbreak’?  verily worn out,

‘Depression’? too depressing,

‘Death’? utterly ultimate,

‘Family’? ‘Food’? ‘Fantasy’?

‘Naps’, maybe?

Maybe I should just take one instead.

:) This poem describes the process I have been going through - trying to tempt my Muse into a topic. You have handled the frustration perfectly by making it the topic! A fun and easy-to-relate-to piece!

Very nice. I liked your enjambments and the way you described each one of the words. I especially liked the line "Friendship? Overly rated." The ending was good as well :)

"“Type!” hollers the blank document,
As brain beckons to poetic genius." - I love your not-taking yourself too seriously here A.I.
and the piggy bank of thoughts queuing up - like a casting session ..."Next...naw, too depressing...we'll get back to you...Next!'

- that's some nap - Ichabod Crane would be jealous - I hope your well.

Of all the poems I have read, this is one of 'em! I like the satiric edge.
