What to Write, What to Write

A poem about the inevitable problem of writers' block; strangely, a lot of people write about it. o.o

How I hate the writers' block

It stays, unmovable, a mental rock

I beg for my pencil to dance

And flirt with thoughts and chance

That obstacle forces inability

It eats, attacks, literary vulnerability

Be wary, my friend, that listless monster

So gray and dull, yet getting even stronger

How I dread when my assignment is due

The writers' block notices the time for rue

The essay, it comes out wrong, even lacking wit

If only I would've said the candle hadn't been lit

A muse is a stubborn winged horse (Pegasus), she’s very cute, but she won't carry your inspirational burden unless she feels like it. Just keep feeding her oats and carrots as you wait for her to get up and fly where majestic constellations lie.

SEBBY!
I love the rhyme scheme to this, and the word choice.
It dances quite nicely through your thoughts and on your tongue.
Well done. ^^

[Chidoriflower]

......I don't have to look for a picture of Sebastian. I'm the one who told you that Sebby is a nickname.
