Don't Forget to Write!

Day Forty-Eight

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
As days go by I'm writing poems,
And even get inspired,
By all the things my friends will write,
That get my brain refired!

Just when I have a thought,
About what I'm gonna write,
If I don't stop and write it down,
It goes right out of sight!

So if I forget the pen and paper,
I'll write on the box from Mrs. Smith's pie,
Or napkins, newspapers or even my hand,
Cause I have the retention powers of a Schnitzers marble rye!

    I jot down ideas that I think will work, often rejecting many of these as i can't finish these thoughts.

    I always get my best ideas right before drifting off to sleep...but sometimes I'm too tired to get up and write it down =)
