Don't blame the brain ((((((((fresh edit)

What in hell is the mental block
I ask

If you great poets
one and all
visit the NIAGARA FALL
you will know
the river just does fall

So is it with poetry
after all
what is a poem
but a concoction
of words which come
some may shun
and
poetry comes
like a fountain

I have composed
so much trash
some swear
as much in similar moments
some were classified
as Gems

Never mind
read on
when you have a mental Blog

Come to my fold
be bold
do me scold
also read some poetry untold

A bard in me comes
yes, as surf it does surface
some take heed
others speed
and
as Shakespeare said so rightly

''An opportunity comes
just once
taken at the high
you can further run
at low speed
be happy
you have an anchor
around thee

So read me
this is off the cuff poetry
at least one will like it
may not be thee
and
why not
may I ask ye...

we all age animal mammal and man
how can one exclude
a woman

cats and dogs are mostly like human
how can we be like
so inhuman

ageing is must
gradually we rust

all have to
then succumb
I too am now
gong numb
