Literature Text

Art is a dry well,
and the muses' tongues are not wet with instruction.
Cracking lips are licked to speak,
and a parched pen thirsts eager for ink,
and repeatedly the well-bucket lurches down the shaft-
After so many dry returns,
the sense of frustration is almost poetic.
This poem was inspired by the lack of inspiration.

I love irony.
