Poeticism

Why is it that I only feel poetic when I'm in a very melancholy mood? It's very strange, I can rarely write good poetry when I'm in a good mood. I have tried, but it just doesn't work. I dunno. Quite strange, yes. Of course, all of my limericks have been written when I was in a good mood. I wonder if there's something about the blues that makes me more poignant. That could be the case. Or it might be that I rarely actually sit down to write thoughts in verse when I'm not swept up in a tide of confusion, sadness and anxiety. Actually, thinking on it, I have written a couple good poems when I was in a good mood. They were all just insanely weird. As opposed to my other poetry, which is more intense and haunting. Ah well, I think that's about all I have time for right now. Thank you, and goodnight.
