I started my day as usual

A light breakfast 

Checking my emails

Then it was time

To start writing

A creative piece

To capture the imagination

Staring intensely

At a blank screen

I waited for inspiration

I waited and waited and waited

But nothing came to mind

By late afternoon

I had an idea

For a poem about my day

Here it is

Words escaped my grasp today when I needed them most

They just ran away and hid from me

Teasing me as my day slipped by with nothing written at all

I called out to them in desperation

If you all come back to me now

I promise to arrange you 

In an orderly beautiful dazzling fashion

That people will read over and over

I promise you will be adored

The words shouted back to me

We are tired of being used

To tell stories about your past

Or for mundane puppies and roses poems

We are not coming back

Until you have a truly gripping story to tell

I decided to make them wait
