Bad Writing Day

Today was a bad writing day.

So bad, that when I wrote a poem with the title “A Bad Writing Day,” the damned poem disappeared after I saved it.  I searched everywhere.  It’s hiding somewhere among the pixels.

So, in effect, I wrote my “poem a day” for April Poetry Writing Month today, — and it ran away from me from embarrassment.

Now what? 

A cop-out, that’s what.  I dug up an old one, and stuck it in my blog (the post just before this one in terms of chronology).

Hey, at least I know I wrote my poem today – even if it did disappear!

So, that should salve my conscience, right?

Actually, even if I had posted it, I’d have been so mad at myself for such a bad poem that I would not have been able to look myself in the eye for quite a while.

Some days are good poem days, and other days are bad poem days (sort of like “good and bad hair days.” ) 

Ultimately, it all depends on the weather, and how much sleep you had.

So, I’m off to get mine — sleep, that is.  (And perhaps tomorrow, perhaps on Sunday, I’ll  make up for today’s lack by writing two poems.

Well, goodnight, dear blog and bloggers!
