Just Not Today

by Joan Serratelli

I don't think
that it's
in me
I don't think
I care
I just don't think
I can write
a good poem
Today

I can't
really think
my concentration
is nil
It's just
not in me
to say what
I want

I need to vent
I need to rant
I need to rave
but I just
can't do it
it's just
not in me today

So, it'll have to wait
until tomorrow
when maybe
I can think
I have so much
to say
but just
not today!

Author's Note: I just cannot think today, but I need to write a poem a day to keep my mind active.

hmm a poem about not being inspired is flat and lifeless. in some ways that makes it brilliant, an illustration of its subject.
