Ernestine Northover - Inspiration

My pen is poised, what shall I write, <br />The mind is 'dark', it needs some light, <br />Some 'inspiration' would be enough <br />To trigger the fingers and do a rough <br />Transcript of thoughts which might be pleasing, <br />But somehow at present, I'm into squeezing <br />My brain, to think up a suitable start, <br />Why aren't I a person who's 'grey matter' is smart, <br />When out of the blue a sentence appears, <br />The brain reacts and the numbness clears, <br />To reveal a startling piece of Lit, <br />That suddenly becomes a Hit, <br />That would be great, but the chances are, <br />A million to one! Oh! Lets retire to the bar! <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inspiration-2/
