Poetry you baffle me

Lovely words, I hear, I see

A verse that might enrapture

My flighty mind won’t capture

Rhyme and rhythm won’t hold still

Even as I grab my quill

No words flow to my parchment

Still, I have enlightenment

Poetry is slippery

In my aging memory



Writing Prompt
Write a short rhyming poem, ie no more than ten lines, with the same number of syllables in each line, about writing poetry.
