I Thought Of A Poem

by Joan Serratelli

I thought of a poem

last evening

as I laid in my bed

I thought I would

remember it

but I forgot every line

instead



I should keep a pad

and a pencil

handy

as other poets do

just in case

this ever happens

again

(I know it will)

LOL! I think every poet worth his or her salt learns this lesson the hard way. Thanks for the reminder Joan. :o)

A pad and a pencil? It's the 21st century now Joan. ;) Imagine all those lost poems, floating around the ether. Like wild salmon, released back to the wild.
