Inaccessible for For Bro Donald

tetrameter sonnet

 

 

Inaccessible

 

I search my mind to find a word

A word I know. It is absurd

 the wretched word’s eluding me.

It’s hiding quite deliberately.

I’m sure no other word will do

 I know because I’ve tried a few

But no other seems to convey

precisely what I want to say.

So I give up lay down my pen

I’ve been defeated once again.

I know that when I’m fast asleep

 that wretched word will gaily leap.

Into the forefront of my brain

and waken me to write again.

How frustrating it is when you know how you you want to describe something, and you know the word you want to use is hiding. I know this all too well. And, no other word can suffice or do it justice.This happens to me frequently, so sometimes I have to invent something LOL! This is a brilliant poem, my friend. Much love to you....
