The flame burned out this week
The light dimmed on my candle
Hormonal stress made me feel weak
It became too much to handle
When technology failed, work was lost
Frustration at defeated intention, momentum thwarted
Thoughts, energy, time the inherent cost
To excitation of plans, contacts courted
Next attempt to prime the pump
A wash of color, start writing
A complete and total brain dump
Interrupted, disrupted by loved ones inciting
Conflicted emotions roused to my chagrin
Triggered psychic retreat to inner abyss
Floating in self-recrimination, adrift herein
Reignite, return to seek my bliss
Visit Adrienne at My Memory Art for more Six Word Fridays

Excellent! I like the wash of colour, and deciding not to let inertia reign – easier said than done sometimes.
Cheers, Gordon
Hormonal stress has taken over my week as well….powerful to work it out in writing as you’ve done.
Adrienne,
Hormones are the devil.
To be perfectly honest, seeing your prompt, I was almost ready to keep riding the wave of blah and not participate. But then, I decided that I HAD to figure this out and get going again. Thank you for continuing to host Six Word Fridays. There have been a couple of times that was the only thing that kept me writing and moving forward.
Blessings,
Kina
“brain dump” needed here… but alas, the interruptions are many. How much can you get down to preserve at a stop sign, a red light, a restroom break?
Rachelle,
Sometimes, I have used the voice memo function on my phone to verbalize/rant/vent, it might be worth a shot in those moments when writing is not an option. I also use the notes function. I have been known to take an extended restroom break with my phone hidden, so that I can get some of it out of my head.
Good luck. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Blessings,

A day late, a dollar short
and totally missing the handle prompt

Mr. Uttley,
Thank you very much for your patronage and participation. Your offering was quite enjoyable.
Be well,

You really have a way with words–you made what seems like a frustrating experience sound rather beautiful!
Brandi,

Well said. Is today really Friday? (6)
Carol,
Thank you. Yes, yes it is indeed. Time flew by slowly while I was in my funk.
Blessings,
Kina
That was just amazing. Your vocabulary is unbelievable. That was fun! I haven’t written and poem in such a long time… I think I’ll try my own brain dump.
Beatrice,
Thank you. All these words are in my vocabulary and understanding. However, were it not for the internet and sites like http://www.rhymes.net/ and http://thesaurus.com/ it would be quite the challenge for my memory impaired brain to remember what rhymes with what and use more of the words I know, lol.
Join in on the Six Word Friday fun! The more the merrier.
Blessings,
Beatrice
All of that (and it was a lot) and yet you find a handle. I so look forward to 6-word Fridays! And on the 7th word? She rested. Breathe. The aroma is bliss. Dan
Dan,
Aww thank you. I almost let the inertia reign and skipped grabbing the handle. Glad I didn’t. Thanks for the encouragement, as always. How do you know I forget to breathe?
Blessings,
Kina
You’re welcome. I’m glad you held on. You are one gutsy hombre-ette. As for the breathing part? Some secrets are best kept secret (ha!). Onward and upward. and exhale. ;-D
Thanks for sharing what you see, you have no idea how much it helps when floating in the abyss. Breathing in and exhaling out. One foot in front of the other. See you on the trail brother.
