HALF REMEMBERED STORIES

Is a rabbit unlucky because,
It's lost it's rabbits foot,
And has to hop on three.

Does a porcupine write,
To cover his bills.
By using one of his,
porcupine quills.

These stories lift me,
As never before, Wondering.
Why is there a door mouse,
Tapping loudly at my door.

My thoughts and mind ignite,
I pick up a pen begin to write.
Maybe I'll get the answer tonight,
Then I feel the need to weep.

The weariness comes over me,
Eyelids close my mind doth sleep.
As my thoughts drift slowly away,
Will I remember come what may.
Alas no, Tomorrow's another day.

A beautifully wonderful poem. Beautiful because of its childlike rhythm, and wonderful because of everything said within. I love it. I might steal some of what you wrote as fodder for my future poems.
