| Photo prompt from Magpie Tales |
Using the photo prompt from Willow Manor for tomorrow's Magpie Tales, plus the 19-line 38-syllable Waltz Wave poetry form suggested in Kerry's Sunday mini-challenge at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, I submit this, the title of which might possibly be longer than the entire poem.
Irrefutable Evidence
Proving the No-Pain-No-Gain Theory to be Invalid
My
typing
is
rotten,
my muses
are worse —
I
throw ink
on the wall
in my fury!
No verses
will come.
I
am numb,
stricken dumb!
In my
pain,
there's no
gain!

Imaginary Garden with Real Toads today, and Magpie Tales tomorrow.

I enjoyed this very much, Kay. I must have a look at 'I G with Real Toads' again:-)
Gosh, Kay, and you threw in some rhyme too. This has a wonderful beat to it - can imagine it being bashed out on an old typewriter.
I love this - the title is fantastic and the verse very humorous. I am writing on a similar theme.

Great! (And don't we all know the feeling!)
Sometimes it's like that, but I enjoyed this.
You convey a sense of frustration, well.
Love it, love it. : ) LOL. The title is fabulous.
Cool rhyme scheme, matching form to content in that the narrator is thundering along in iambs and then at the end, just as she gets utterly stuck, just as a closing couplet that includes a rhyme with "fury" is what we're set up to expect, it's denied! (Plus, there was a bit of a Dorothy-Parker-"Resume" feel that was fun.)
Made me smile Kay, thank you! And golly, you managed some rhyme too. Superfunny.
loved the pace of this, just great and the title is fab too!! x
Kay--Marvelous title, and I agree. That's why I don't exercise. Pain does not result in gain ;)
(I'm a bit envious of your ability to rhyme, and make it seem so effortless and not forced.)
Oh, yes! So cleverly crafted!
The poem thumps out a determined stance! And adore the flick at a cliche in the title!
Young lady ... I feel for you. We have all been there. But I fear, you speak not the truth as you have mastered a form with rhyme divine and words ever clever!
This is extraordinary but sad we do not get to use the royal blue ink bottles with fillers anymore!! The era of ball point and gel pens it is!! So no fun of splashing ink :D What a mess we made when we first learnt to write with those pens!! The ink blobs looked kind of cute :D
..you may be right at some aspect and i respect it.. thanks for the read!(:

That's terse! LOL
Did my comment disappear? Or do you have that annoying comment moderation
on?
First time round i merely said 'That's terse!" as it carried on with your rhyming...
Dear Kay: Brave world a writer must face each day! You have made the case for a good case of beer! Need a muse beer!
Ack! That's me! Well done. I'm impressed by how well you write about being unable to write, lol.
nicely typed!
I didn't notice the ink! Details are important, afterall. Nice job with both challenges.
Looks like you were having fun writing this, and its fun to read! I like the rhymes thrown in, lol.
smiles. nice piece...surely there is gain in just the penning of the words...
great love it - love the emotion
Nothing's lost as long as you've been able to string a few words together. That effort is always worth it :)

Enjoyable, but I don't believe a word of it!
