Sometimes I feel inspired
sometimes not.
Handful of feathers?
That inspires me...
"Once upon a midnight dreary
While I pondered weak and weary..."
Wait a damn minute.
That seems familiar somehow
Let me start anew...
"It was the best of times.
It was the worst of times..."
Shit!
I think I read that somewhere too.
Oh wait, here's an interesting thought...
"Now is the winter of our discontent..."
Okay,
this is getting ridiculous!
Surely there's a great opening line that
waits yet for me to use.
Think, dammit, Think...
"There once was a girl from Nantucket..."
NO!No!No!No!No!

What a clever piece, I laughed out loud (thereby startling my co-worker)! I can so relate to this, often I hear a phrase that I wish I had thought of first - all the good ones seem to be taken! Amusing.

All the best in the contest...Sue

LOL, this is kind of cute. Its really funny in its endevouring and its interesting enough to keep you reading.
Nice job and good luck! -
Superb
Cools, I recognized each and every quote you used, and felt the last one gave this poem a great touch of humor. Thanks for sharing. Let's see, the first was from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven"; and in a moment I'll get the exact title for the next one: "A Tale of Two Cities", by Charles Dickens, and the third was from: "Richard the III by Wm Shakespeare. Hmm.. shall I try for the last one?
