Dumb, Dumb
by Charles E MinshallHere I sit pen in hand
With thoughts of writing
Something grand.
To my complete
Exasperation,
I can not find
Inspiration.
I feel so dumb
My mind is numb,
I can't think of what to write.
Any words that are fitting
All seem to be flitting,
Nothing turns out right.
I guess these words
Will have to do,
The simple words
I love you.
For there are no words
That I can find,
To tell you of the love
That I have in mind.
