I stand up here and sit down there,
I close my eyes, I do despair,
A topic I want, a post to share,
My mind is blank – there’s nothing there!
I look to the walls, and sit and stare,
I check the mirror, I check my hair,
(It’s looking good! I do declare,
The back is dark, the front is fair)
But my mind is blank, there’s nothing there
A topic I want, a post to share…
Please forgive me if I swear
Although I won’t, I’ll take great care,
I’ll pluck a subject from thin air
As my mind is blank, and nothing’s there
And I want a topic for a post to share.
It’s not the time to mention Molière,
And 1642, when he was there,
Or my friend Michelle, who was an au pair,
Nor Ramsey, my imaginary koala bear,
Or even the rising cost of any bus fare
…I don’t know why I put that there…
I need a subject, a topic to share
My mind is blank, there’s nothing there
This isn’t nice, it isn’t fair!
The post’s nearly done, and where oh where
Is the subject, the thread, of this castle in the air
Of a post written totally unaware
Without direction, or time to prepare
As my mind is blank, there’s nothing there…
I need to type a post to share
My thoughts, which could be anywhere
They’re not with me, upon this chair
I close my eyes, I do despair,
But, I’m sorry if you’ve read this far
My mind is blank, there’s nothing there
No post to share
I’m sorry. Please take care…
I’ll blame it on that solar flare,
Or the Census Questionnaire –
Which I’ve remembered is on a stair
And should be here, not over there…

Hello! I came to your blog through another blog while I was surfing the net – at work!
Really like the stuff you have written, and especially like that fact you come up with a whole poem about nothing to share for post a day! LOL!

Hello Shree, thank you for commenting! 🙂
Yes, I have a tendency to write about nothing quite a lot of the time… my mind takes me off in so many strange ways, but I’m enjoying the journey!
I’ll be having a nosy at your blog soon… 😉LikeLike

Oh thanks for that timely reminder, I haven’t completed mine yet.., must remember after I’ve left this comment…
and great rhyme about um… nothing…sharing wise. I often have thoughts about nothing in particular…but you’ve managed quite a lot on the subject,.. 😉
Fyrespike says to tell you in answer to your query, he hasn’t got Fire Magic mastery just has the talent of using fire… Whereas Kalaseru has Fire Magic and fire talent too. Clear as mud eh?… and he’s offered show you sometime if you like? 😉 … and please can he have that baccy you keep promising!! I’m all fresh faced and made up now, eye liner wise, and my hairs recovered a treat, amazing really, that acrid brimstone and foul air must work like conditioner… Black at the back and fair fronted eh? and Ramsey is an imaginary Koala Bear? Does he talk? … Eeek , is that the time? I have to dash,… xPenxLikeLike

Yes, Fyrespike can have the baccy – I hope he enjoys! And great news about your hair!
Oh, Ramsey can’t talk, Pen – ha ha ha – he’s a koala bear! He likes to whistle when he goes wing-walking though, and plays the piano quite well for a koala!
Kalaseru’s fire magic sounds amazing, I bet her and Fyrespike would be able to put on a magnificent show! And yes, I wouldn’t mind being an observer!
