Midweek Motif - nostalgia
It was a nostalgia of sorts
Had as yet not kicked a bother
Bloated with ideas set for release
Bathed in unpretentious garb
But seemed to be wrought with sins
Leaned on impish tendencies
Playful got stuffed at times
Traumatic but a trite too languid
How he wished for a high-pitched
entry not unlike an alabaster's but
soft enough just as much
Toying with poems at noon
at a moon's pace of progress
he ambled along
He had wished for a semblance
of order and fullness of purpose
Sadly though what transpired
was just a pittance

I like "toying with poems at noon at a moon's pace of progress". This sounds like me.

Ah, toying with poems at noon, or (in my case) at midnight! Great use of the given words!
