A Nonet to Nothing #SOLC23

Stuck
searching,
but nothing
reveals itself,
laughing and taunting.
Frustration builds until
I pick up my pen to write 
nothing a particularly
uninspired nonet to end its hold.


I thought this was better than writing about the boys' bathroom shenanigans.

  3. Heather, so funny! I love the nothingness in your nonet. Great ending: "to end its hold." I love how even in the midst of your poem frustration until you picked up your pen. It was kind of as if you were outside of yourself watching it happen; I'm not sure what I'm saying, but I liked that part that half of it was written before you picked up your pen. And that last sentence about bathroom shenanigans made me laugh aloud!
