Spot the change in this leopard

Uninspired, I hit that snooze button and lose

precious bits of day;

10 minutes at a time.

The early worm is bird breakfast

I choose life and wiggle deeper into the blankets

The result of a late night;

Midnight and the smell of burning oil

Alone in my minds graveyard

I shift lifeless poems around in a handbasket.

The hell of writers block.

My pen and poetry were simply not on the same page.
