Within the pages of this little book
I'll share the musings of my muddled mind.
I hope that you will pause to take a look
although, just now, I'm not sure what you'll find!
Inspiration flickers
then my kids crash in--
train of thought
derails.
This NaPoWriMo challenge could be tough,
but I'm a lass who strives to see things through.
A poem a day this month is what I'll scribe
within the pages of this little book.

Author Notes
This is the prologue for my book 'Musings Of My Muddled Mind', for the NaPoWriMo writing prompt challenge.
How this book turns out will be as much of a surprise to me, as it will be for you!
With no set format planned, we are literally at the mercy of my muddled mind and the children responsible for muddling it.... Ben (10), Katie (8) and Rebecca (5). I'm pretty sure that they will make an appearance or two along the way!
Thank you for reading my poetry :)
