Ear Today, Gone Tomorrow!

Sounds reasonable!

                                                          

This poem is a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh.

Such a troubled genius, don't you know?

I can't tell you how many times I've thought,

"I got nothing," good writing ideas flowed, not!

Then I thought about hacking off my own ear

when my ability to create, she would disappear.

Such a natural response to unbearable stress,

when you find yourself in a non-creative mess.

But I disgusted myself because I couldn't, it would hurt!

Plus, it would really do a number on my clean white shirt.

So I did what I always do, ideas or not, I plowed ahead.

I may not be ear-less, but I'm just brain-less instead!
