It’s tough, writing something
When a prompt doesn’t speak to you
When nothing seems to spark
What’s a writer supposed to do
I have no experience of hanging from a ledge
Because I don’t have a death wish
And I don’t like using others work
Like Old Man and the Sea, I’ll catch my own fish
So in effect I have to create something completely new
No safety rail of prompts to guide me
I’ll make it up, I’ll bluff it out
And hope no-one calls for an enquiry
I believe its called the Boris Johnson method
Satire!!
Good one David. Been there in my writing of poetry. Really like the last full stanza.
