This made me smile and I totally relate to this perspective!
Someone asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

Is April still Poetry Month?
If so, I would like to begin to prepare
A poem that is presumably ready to share
But it turns out the fact of the matter is this
Right at the moment it does not exist
I ain’t got a poem

I DO NOT LIKE THE WORD IAMB
WILL YOU DEFINE IT IF YOU CAN?
I DO NOT LIKE IAMBIC FEET
THOUGH METERS MAKE ME FEEL COMPLETE
ANTIPESTIC TETRAMETER
SENDS ME PACKING AS A READER*
DOES THIS DEFINE THE ONE TRUE WAY?
HOW CAN THAT EVER BE OKAY?
*OR…DEPENDING ON PRONUNCIATION:
ANTIPESTIC TETRAMETER
IS THIS THE BEST BAROMETER?

Why am I so crazy
Why am I so fat
Too much bread and sugar
Get enough of that
I can be a vegan
I can skip the meat
But butter, bread and sugar
Is what I want to eat
I haven’t found the words to say
since long before I knew
that life will carry on and on
providing hints and clues
I’d like to be a joyful soul
I’d like to find a heart-felt goal
I’d like to recognize the whole,
the good and the sublime
I’d like to wake up fairly soon
while I still have the time
Summer Rerun:
A Beginning…..part I in a series
Let me begin by saying that it was never my intention to interfere. I had hoped things would settle themselves and my participation would be unnecessary. In fact, that would have been the preferred outcome as far as I’m concerned. Sometimes circumstances conspire to affect an outcome so unusual that it becomes ridiculous. This is all in the way of introducing my proposition to you.
I read the note and it was all I could do not to laugh out loud. Who was this person? The style reminded me of a mystery writer and not a bad one, really. Sort of old school. I half expected Hercule Poirot (a name I never could pronounce) to come popping in from around the corner. I continued to read, intrigued by the promised “proposition.”

Are these my true colors shining through?
Can I remember the last time I laughed?
I think it would be good to laugh more often
Got a free app called Talking Ginger
Ginger is a cartoon cat — designed for kids
Makes me laugh every – single – time
You can sing TRUE COLORS to Ginger
Have friends join in
or even people who are not friends
Ginger will sing your song back to you
Laughing will happen
It can transform a dreary day
What to write
What to say
as I now approach the day
Some will care, some will not
Maple leaves don’t tell a lot
What’s going on
Down on the dock
What’s the scene
Up on the quay
Cornflakes will try
but soon get in the way
Nonsense and poppycock
float on the bay

Take a chill pill
Cool one’s jets
hang loose, decompress
Regain composure
Swim down stream
Keep one’s shirt on
Live the dream

Probably
It’s because I’m tired
That’s why I feel this way
Sleep eluded me at night
for hours, I would say
It’s just because I’m tired
and soon, I’ll be okay
