Forgotten Rhymes....Lost Train of Thought

It makes me crazy

when my thoughts are hazy

Forgotten rhymes

this happens sometimes

Had some lines in my head the other day

didn't write them down right away

now forgot what I wanted to say

to my dismay

in disarray

Ideas come so fast

but they don't last

easy come easy go

funny how rhymes flow

lost and found

in the sound

still around

thoughts abound

maybe they'll come back to me someday

paper and pen in my hand I pray

hope I'll be prepared

so those thoughts can be shared

they might come back some day

by a different name

they'll never be the same

hate to lose my train of thought

my train of thought has gone....express

my train of thought has gone express

my train of thought has gone express........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I need to acknowledge that I lost my train of thought and I want it back...I need to always have a paper and pen handy any time day or night so I will not lose any more trains of thought that run express and I cannot keep up with anymore...yikes...

You're not the first case i've seen of tose who lose great poems. Here's the trick, carry around a tiny journal with you anywhere you go. Even a pocket comp. book would work. and a pen, dont' forget the pen. and if you see anything insirational or think of a poem one day, jot it down. I met a singer once, her name was michelle branch, who would carry around alittle journal, or sometimes just a pen, and when she thought of something, jotted it down on the closest thing to her, sometimes paper, sometimes a napkin. poetry is everywhere, you gotta be ready for it! nice poem, keep it up!

I can relate to this when im driving and can't stop to write and idea or somewhere where it would be inappropriate to pull out a pad of paper and write,doesnt mean one doesnt think when in varied situations. However on the home front, I have a paper pad by my computer station, my regular desk, the phone in livingroom,phone in kitchen,phone in bedroom and yes even in bathroom small sticky pad under sink cabinet and pencil kept down there- prepared in the house hahaha lol.....
