Midday Writing and Rhyming

Midday writing is not necessarily writing at its best, but I sometimes find that it is writing from the heart. At certain times of the day my mind wanders to different types of writing and how these are a reflection of ourselves. For example I have a habit of writing doggerel at points when I don't know what else to write - a times like these rhyming stuff, even if it is rubbish has a comforting feel. Doggerel you might say is my writing dummy (or comforter depending on which side of the pond you live). Some months back I wrote a piece about grandmothers and grandchildren. At the time I had a housefull of kids and a deadline to meet, my only defence against the onslaught (I have to say that I don't discourage them from turning up during school holidays) and the looming deadline was to put it into rhyme - which probably sparked a later post on whether I was a writer or just a nutcase. Never mind midday has a strange effect on me sometimes
