My kingdom for inspiration

I find myself unable
To pen a decent line
The words they come
But disappear
Before I make them mine

Unfinished beginnings
Are now quite abundant
A phrase I choose
Will soon become
Invariably redundant

The rhyming scheme I follow
Does not stick to my norm
I would prefer
A b c b, but now
That aint the form

And so a traitor to the art
Bows her head in shame
And writes instead
Of lost talent
That she once used to claim

Very well written
It was a lovely rhyme
Keep them coming--short and sweet
goodbye...until next time.
