Oh woe! Poor brain, you won't produce a thought
And Monday's Potluck deadline time is nigh
My efforts thus have sadly come to naught
I stare at the computer screen and sigh.
This Monday's theme of rules and regs and lawsIt leaves me uninspired, lacking muse
And tho' I always rally to the cause
I fear this time I may have to refuse!
Oh me! Where hast thou gone poetic pride?
Oh fie! My hand will not produce one line!
My heart such sadness it cannot abide
I feel I must console my soul with wine.
The mind it must be free for Art to reign
And rules and regs and laws serve to constrain!

I love the awards!
The mind it must be free for Art to reign

I agree very much with these lines! Happy Potluck!
I hear what you're saying...not the easiest theme to write to! Cute, though.
There was a certain humor to this piece (I think it's because all of us batshit crazy writers go through it!) that reads very well. I know it is tough to find inspiration in 'following the rules' but lucky for us the inverse is just as applicable!
Thanks for some good reading, take care,

That's a great way to break the news! :)
Nice sonnet and a clever way to tackle the prompt!!
Nice way of submitting an entry through a near writer's block!

Ahaha! Great stuff! Go on! Teach us! You can write about anything! Conjure it! Now! What? Tired? Un-inspired? Bah! Hambug! You can write on the rug!
What a great way to incorporate your awards into a new post! I love it. Were you drinking wine when you wrote it?? :)
My Potluck poem: Greenzilla's Top 5 Green Deeds
I enjoyed the last stanza! Interesting way to turn writers block into a poem!
*grins* I really did enjoy this! I hope the wine helped. ;)
Great sonnet, cleverly done :)
