WRITER’S BLOCK

Morning air fogs my breath when I retrieve the newspaper
Later the sun shortens its stroll through the weary garden
Fat cat dozes on my desk under the reading lamp
Head toasting in its warmth
The window blinds behind my computer are open--
No glare to worry about
Gray clouds now cloister the sun's rays
I stare out the window, fingers on keyboard
Where is inspiration this drab day?
A rose bush responds, arching one, delicate branch
A crimson rosebud brushes against the glass
