The Unfinished

"The Unfinished"

What a dreadful feeling

Of doing nothing

While the clock ticks on

You'll be alone

Sitting and thinking

Of yesterday's loan

And of tomorrow's sorrow.

As you muse and yawn

Daydreaming of anything

That you ought to do,

And aim to be ,

In a moment's due.

It's that dreadful feeling

As time flies by

You thought you're willing

As you ponder and sigh

About the books you'll publish

The beauty you'll soon unleash

And because you're tired

You said "Sheesh,

Another poem unfinished."

And you ruin your train of thoughts.
