Flight of Fantasy (Etheree)
Chime
and chime
again, still
deeper into
darkness towards dawn.
Inspiration tumbles
through a mind that craves for rest,
tired fingers tap at mental keys,
weaving stories which seem wondrous yet
fragment like cobwebs in the morning light.
I don’t write much poetry these days, but when I did, and when I was a little more experimental than I am now, I composed this Etheree (a 10 line poem in which the number of syllables in each line increases by one), which was published by Every Day Poets. It sums up a phase which I think most writers experience at one time or another. 🙂

Your poem captures that frustrating moment when you wake, thinking you have the perfect story/idea, only to have it dissolve as soon as you open your eyes. Thanks for the pingback and visiting my blog. I envy your cruising in France; can’t imagine anything more blissful.
