Words don't come easy,

I could sit waiting

for a signal to snake

its way into my mind,

coated from discussions

or illusions...but reluctant

to stay,

 

subjects circle faster

difficult to hold on to,

my hoovered brain has

only cobwebs and dust

clogging any thoughts

from getting through,

 

yet still I ponder

half asleep in hope

of some rousing

stimulation before

sleep is upon me.

I really enjoyed this contemplative little piece Jenny

only you could write a thoughtful poem which works really well about being too tired from houseworek to write a poem!

I hope you don't wake up suddenly with a clear thought formed only to fall asleep and forget it! We all have such struggles at times, and usually I have to leave worrying about it, or write down something like it to pick up later!  Rhiannon

Hello Di,

I need to write, but I'm finding it hard to get any inspiration at the moment, so it gets very frustrating.

Housework I must admit does get in the way. But we've had so many things breaking down in the house and we've also been painting our kitchen, I think the paint fumes must be playing with my brain, everything is a mess, I'll just be glad when we've finished and hopefully get back to some normality.

Anyway glad you enjoyed and thank you for letting me know.

Jenny.

Hi Rhiannon,

it's just so tiring at the moment trying to do all the jobs that need doing and wanting to think more about writing, which as you know I love so much. My brain is fuzzy and it gets frustrating, but I'm sure things will come right in the end.

I'm grateful for your comment and your shared thoughts.

Thank you for reading.

Jenny.

It happens to all of us, Jenny. It is generally referred to as 'writer's block' and every time I read that description I imagine a drain pipe that needs unblocking. It might be that tiredness may be the cause but I discount that theory and just think that we can't have ideas on tap and that the brain is devoid of inspiration. You sum it up brilliantly with the following lines:

my hoovered brain has
only cobwebs and dust
clogging any thoughts
from getting through,

Luigi xx

I really empathise with this Jenny.  I've just come out of a period of 'block' - it's horrible when every word is even more of a struggle than usual.  I always tried to do even a short period of 'free writing' every day.  Although pretty much all of what came out was rubbish, it did make me feel that I was at least shaking the feather duster at the cobwebs, even if I wasn't able to clear them away as yet.

Hi Luigi,

writers block is certainly right at the moment.

Thank you for stopping by to read and leave a comment.

Hi there airyfairy,

as you can imagine it's the most frustrating thing to not be able to write. I'm glad you understand and thank you for taking the time out to share your thoughts.

I'm off out for a short walk, so hopefully I can be inspired.

Jenny.

House work is horrible! You need trees and the rhythm of walking - if that's still not possible my partner has just started doing Kundalini yoga and says (and I think it is too) that it's helping him a lot? He has limmited mobility but it's still making him feel much lighter inside? Is Kundalini a kind of yoga you have tried?

I am sorry about my earlier comments, I'm so much better now and have had a good rest. You are a special soul Di and I understand what you are saying. Any yoga certain;y is a good idea for anyone not able to cope.

Thank you as always for your kind words Di and I give so much love to your partner for his healing. for which he deserves all the healing in the world.

Your words are very moving, thank you.

Jenny.
