Fruitless Efforts

Why the Writers Cafe's

computer page

couldn't save

I couldn't say...

Why my cleverest jests

were laid to rest

without a breath 

I couldn't say...

Why I lost everything

like wedding vows 

and diamond rings 

I honetly, could not say...

But the screen had refreshed, 

and as one would guess, 

not one word was left 

of said masterpiece!

Alas I know this feeling well, over the decades I have had ideas that left me spellbound after just a few lines but I was not in a position to write them down. Try as I might I was unable to put myself in the same frame of mind to remember but a line or two but they were never the same. Witty even if it is a painful topic, so thanks for putting that splinter back into my thumb Ha! Ha! A pleasure to read, thanks for posting :~)

I could totally relate to what you're trying to say here . Your style of writing has directed my attention all through out - and it wasn't a fruitless effort.

yeah when this s**t happens you're like my work my work and it's back to the blackboard but pissed! glad to have a soul relate to this!

I enter into panic when that happens to me, that's why I write first in my computer now and then here. This poem expresses in a great way that feeling. Great write!
