I Had a Topic, But I Forgot

Karen Gross on Sep 18, 2010

Did you ever have a really great topic for an article just fall out of your brain on your way to the computer? Where do all these lost thoughts go?

I had a topic, but I forgot;
I know that it was a good one.
I’m sure I’ve never had so profound a thought;
But alas, my thought is gone.

I searched the pockets of my brain;
I searched under my chair.
This loss has driven me quite insane;
I’m pulling out my hair.

Have you had a topic come to you,
That you knew was not your own?
Then perhaps it was my thought coming through;
Please ask it to come home!

Maybe I could get a cat to pick my brain? (photo by author, circa 2008)

I know exactly where your coming from, thus the reason I wrote an article regarding writing. I keep paper and pen near by and with me all the time.
Awesome write

I hope the cat found it for you. I know I have to write the idea down or I lose it. I have my list of ideas beside me now.

“Ain’t” it the truth! Chuckle, Chuckle. Love it Karen. I have to write notes sometimes for the note I had to write to remember.
Chuckle, Chuckle.

Funny! This happens to me a lot. Sometimes, right before I drift off to sleep at night, I think of different topics that would be nice to write on. Then in the morning, I remember I had a good one but lost it to my dreams….
Thanks for the cute poem!
