The Sonnet was the focus of the RWS September meeting.
LACK OF INSPIRATION
When we agreed we'd each attempt a sonnet
I found my mind gone blank, to my dismay!
I take my paper, write some rubbish on it,
Then tear it up and throw the bits away.
The days slip by, the deadline's drawing nearer.
I wake at night and wonder what to do.
Where is my vision? Once my mind was clearer!
But now, I do not seem to have a clue
I ponder on the inspiration question
Here in the darkness with my lonely light.
I know my daytime life, with its congestion,
Has blocked my mind so that I cannot write.
Oh Spirit's heavenly sunshine please break through
The clouds of "Far Too Many Things-to-do"!
