alas – for this Six Word Fridays
i have nothing novel to say
a simple truth i can’t escape
creativity is zapped – empty of words
sounds like a cop out, yes
one i don’t mean to use
i have turned through my thoughts
sifted through experiences – real and imagined
and can only find crumpled ideas
today, nothing inspiring springs to mind
would you forgive me this confession
just this once? i hope so
i’m plain old brain tired today

Oh Mel, I felt the same way this week! All dried up. That’s why I decided to use the prompt as a more life inspiration.
But I didn’t say it as eloquently as you. I would read anything you have to say.

Mel, it happens to all of us. Your confession is honest and vulnerable – you have my support 🙂

Confronting the blank screen without ideas
is a brave thing to do.

I’ve been feeling that way quite a bit lately. “Crumpled ideas”-exactly!
Melissa
Expressed so eloquently! Brains need rejuvenation.

And yet no empty space here!
Well done for being so tired 🙂

Said a lot for not having anything to say. 🙂 and so well put.

Ah, clever. Some days, it sure seems like everything’s been said before.
