Poets' Land Options

Poets' Land

Once I would sit with pen in hand
and set aside a little time.
Then send my thoughts to poets' land,
to conjure up a pleasant rhyme.

Was that the poets' Muse I'd hear
As words would form upon my page?
Need I but write her message clear
to free my visions from their cage?

Such marvels would my mind display;
if I could capture but a few!
Yet when my words before me lay,
they did not hold that wondrous view.

So hard I'd strive to grasp a dream,
my words could not embrace,
that all enjoyment it would seem
was lost in fruitless chase.

So now I sit with empty hand
and seek no more that perfect rhyme.
But send my thoughts to poets' land
just to spend some pleasant time.

I have never seen writer's block so eloquently described - so much so that makes me wanna have some (more)!  I like that idea  - Poet's land - where everyone is wearing a poet's shirt and the scenery is completely pastoral.  We all have quills in our ink stained hands and lay upon the grass, imagining the clouds to be giants or angels or ferocious beasts!  I think I'll try to visit more often!  Thanks for the inspiratioN!

Big Hugs,
