What, What to Write -- a poem by Eliane

What, What to Write

What, what to write
a bit of a dilemma
thoughts only a bit of gemma

Yes, gemma is a word
it means bud
thought should flower, not be frozen mud

Oh, mud of my progress
a trickle of thought
my thinking is not overwrought

Well, overwrought archaically means wearied by overwork
my unwritten words are not exhausted
only waiting to be defrosted!

it's true that if you overwork steel for example it can weaken it.

Adele, I just felt like my brain was frozen mud. Then, a little frozen rosebud of thought was struggling to break through. So, I wrote about it. So cool you enjoy the verbal imagery.
