Running on empty!

Sometimes I feel.......

Shallow are my poems

Where words lack depth

And lines cannot drown.

But should be swept 

Away by floods:

Washed from my memories , your memories.

Then, its done.

But by chance,

Wicked I am,

I throw in a line

With baited hook

To see who.......

I can hook.

Until then, empty are

The thoughts that once, 

Was glass filled

That poured onto paper...

Freely!

You empty? I can't imagine that lol.
I think all of poets/writers can relate to this though, the pen running dry sometimes.
That's when you write about writers block! haha.

[andrew mitchell]

Exactly! I get more comments writing about the block !!! LOL Thanks GEP

[GreenEyedPoet]

Lol I guess that means you should write about it more often.

[Terpsichore]

Poetry and shallow don't mix; a penned line, no matter how seemingly throw away, always reflects the poet within. T

[andrew mitchell]

I had to think about this clever observation. well done Tersichore. As I said with baited hook I try to hook a passer by lol, Thank you for droppin in!

Beat you at cricket! my friend lol:) Thanks Gee lol, and watch your cinematic writes in 3d humour lol

[fattycbreezy52]

Woahhhh.
This is relatable.The process of writing has its own ups and downs.
The fact that you trapped such a delicate feeling and made a poem out of it is quite intriguing
Amazing thing you got there:)
Keep writing
