She flew into my mind
one bleak Monday morning;
made herself at home,
(the way cuckoos do),
feathered her nest
from my words, cucking gently,
as she bled me dry.
Her egg hatched,
in shards of black obsidian,
shattering my fledgling thoughts
into kaleidoscope fragments.
Already, the chick has ousted
a sonnet and a villanelle;
I am speechless.

| Well l'bill, apart from the fact that I am a little bit cuckoo, I did write it as an allegorical poem...but I'm sure you knew that anyway!! Ask me the truth, I'll tell 'e a lie....Ann |

| From what I've seen, Emma, no-one ever steals your inspiration. You're a fount of poetic prowess. Ann |

Hi Ann, mildly confusing but ever-so-intriguing at the same time... I was a little lost towards the end, but the 'I am speechless' made me (as a reader) smile. Katy |

Hi Katy, well I'm oviously not doing my job as a poet, then!!
Cuckoos invade nests, steal eggs, etc. Cuckoo invades my mind, steals ideas (not of very high quality, I admit)...I did think of writing 'I am cuckoo', but speechless seemed better, certainly with the insight of writer's block! Ann |

Hints of 'plagerism' Ann??? Loved the metaphoric use of the cuckoo and it's habits in your words and have enjoyed reading this thread generally, Ann, nice work, Zy |

Self plagerism??? Zy |
