Untitled - Draft I

 
Currently
Original Musiquarium I
By Stevie Wonder

I set a goal for m'self this week ... to write one poem. No set length, theme, subgenre, etc. Figured why I add even more pressure? The act of writing (or typing) would be difficult enough.

"Untitled (Draft I)"

I haven't a clue where to begin
From the beginning or,
at the end.

All I know is that
9 times out of 10,
I'll scrap whatever I write.

Editing is a chore,
playing with my muse - a bore.
My journal's empty pages
sigh and snore.

I decided to type this,
because I was too lazy to write.
Sittin' here in my woe-is-me state,
I lie in wait
Hopin' my muse will play with me
once more.

But, what on earth for?

I need to search for some answers.
Ask the Universe to be my guide.
Instead,
I type out this poe-em,
to avoid the hand of Fate.

I already learned that isn't possible,
sittin' here in my woe-is-me state.

I don't have a conclusion for this poem.
Not sure if this is the end.
Can't remember where or why I started.
Oh well, I'll just hit ... send.

My "currently listening" selection is in celebration of the Artist's upcoming birthday fĂȘte!

Peace,

Moi
