Not Amused (Monotetra)

I want to write and post today

But cannot find a word to say

All the stories have gone away

My mood is grey, my mood is grey

Where will I find the thoughts to write

A wordless screen gives me a fright

Writers' block haunt me day and night

Is this my plight, is this my plight

These jottings will not work for me
My muse it seems have set me free
She skipped on me for sun and sea
So doomed I be, so doomed I be

My Love Calls (Nonet)

My beloved was lost at sea one day

Sailing when the angry storm blew

I hear his voice call my name

His love for me still true

He came back for me

To sail the sea

Come with me

I miss 

You
