I’ve sat here all day,
racking my brain;
with a prompt like this,
I may go insane.
But this is what I’ve been given,
words that will never inspire,
and I’m feeling quite desperate,
might need to conspire.

Writing prompt: Redneck Rodeo and Pink posies
The accursed writer
Blood stains saturate her sleeve
Exposing her soul

Writing prompt: Cursed pens and bleeding paper
Your words
They sit
In a lonely tin
Sad to think
I’ll never
See you again
But life
Moves on
You went away
I’m still
Sometimes sad
You didn’t stay

When I read your words
All those wonderfully inspired words
A sense of longing and desire
Pulls me straight to you
As hard as I sometimes try
I can never deny your existence
Your words they come alive
Because you live in every one

I struggle for words
Just for you
Any old word
Just won’t do
Words for you
Need to be more
Something that’s never
Been said before
Each word must convey
All that you are
And be perfected
Beyond subpar
So this is my dilemma
And my minds a mess
Trying to find the right words
I want to express
But that’s how much
You mean to me
And now you can see
My quandary
