Energy is hiding
On this morn after Christmas
Inspiration leaves
Like a bird before winter
Holiday spirit follows

Yes
I tried
To no avail
I thought and pondered
And racked my brain
Even searched and researched
Yet nothing came to mind
Inspiration hid from my brain
Ideas could not be found anywhere
So I sit here with blank mind and blank paper
Etheree

Are you
Digging thru the debris of life
Searching for a purpose
Just ask the Lord
To help
Reverse Cinquain

Let not your melancoly heart hold to drear
The daffodils speak of Spring coming soon
Should your nostalgic mind be given to fear
Take a stroll through the Daffodils this mid-noon
No matter the gloomy forecasts you hear
Yellow Daffodils sing Springtime’s tune
So come, shed Winter’s heavy cloak of grey,
Take a walk among the Daffodils today
Ottava Rima
