Fleeting Thoughts

Rating: 5.0


This morning I was lying in my bed,
thinking poetic thoughts before the dawn.
Some wondrous lines of verse ran through my head,
but when I try recalling them, they're gone.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
It's true. I had the first four lines of a Shakespearean sonnet in my head this morning, but didn't get out of bed and write them down as I should have. Then this afternoon I remembered having those lines in my head, but can't remember what they were or anything else about them. This happens to me all the time.
