Challenge
Meditate for 10-20 minutes. (For those who do not do this regularly, sit in silence and attempt to clear your head and silence your thoughts.) It can be pretty challenging, but also really beneficial for writers who seem to never get a break from thinking. When you finish, I am sure your mind is going to be exploding with fresh thoughts. Write them here!

Fresh Thought

I must sit and write a poem

I reach down to scratch my ankle

It is time to write a poem

The itch travels up my left leg

Poetry drifts so far away

I scratch and scratch at my left hip

This is a night to write a poem

Now I'm scratching my right shoulder

Inspiration fades in the dark

Where is the calamine lotion?

Now meter has escaped with rhyme

I'm about to claw my skin off

There is no thought, no song, no poem

My muse died of poison ivy
