Quatern - Thirty-Three 3WW CCLXIII

3ww
Baffle
Elegant
Negate

I'M WAITING FOR INSPIRATION
I'm waiting for inspiration
but the headache won't go away
I try to baffle it with words
Big words that you can write backwards

Like Wassamassaw or someplace
I'm waiting for inspiration
But time is running out fast now
The stats are messing with my brain

You can't negate illness for long
I've been in denial for four years
I'm waiting for inspiration
Hold the operation I'm scared

My headache is banging thuck thuck
I just want to go back to sleep
Elegant as Malayalam
I'm waiting for inspiration

    is this an actually operation? if so hugs it will all be over soon and you'll feel better soon.
    Great work on this poem.

    I rarely have seen you lost for inspiration and you've done well with today's prompts - per usual :-) Enjoyed it very much.

    This has a nice lilt with a dark undercurrent. Is it brain surgery impending? Makes for excellent reading.

    "I try to baffle it with words" ...
    This is a particularly profound line, Andy, in our community. I like the direction your work is going. Nicely done.

    Black and Decker doctors scare the heck out of me. I think they're drilling for inspiration.
