Ebb and Flow

by Jeffrey Parren

that little indicator
has vanished.
it was next to my name
and even my folders

but since it has been
a week, maybe more
since I last posted
something

that little thing
(depending on theme)
just up and went
hanging out now

most definitely
around the cooler kids
who write daily
with abundant ideas

but quite soon
I am sure
my poetry will
ebb and flow.

is it more ebb
or rather more flow
when the ideas
and words

are coming
and going?
the ideas have to ebb
before the words can flow?

well, either way
that little indicator
will come back
you'll see.

Author's Note: The well is a little dry but I am thinking poetry often. Just a matter of time.
