Sijo Struggles #VerseLove

Thank you, Barb Edler, for the Sijo challenge today.  I have read Linda Sue Park's Tap Dancing on the Roof:  Sijo (Poems) before and love this form, but boy is it hard to write one of my own.  Thursday is my long day, and I am sitting in the library trying my best to put something together.  My head feels like it is in a fog, so that is where I went with my poem.  

Head is pounding from so much pressure; it can't make sense of much
Thoughts scatter, words escape; there's nothing let to formulate
Verse love is not enough for this writer - Sijo allergy
