Writer's Block

I can't think of anything to write

 

 

Been trying to think

of something to write.

Been sittin' here thinkin'

most of the night.

 

I would write of love

but I know nothing about it,

if I did, beleive me,

I'd stand up and shout it.

 

I would write of young

maidens beauteous and fair

but I don't think my mem'ry

can get me back there.

 

I would write of green

fields full of sweet clover.

But most of those fields

have all been paved over.

 

I would write of the moon

hanging bright in the sky,

but I can't see the thing

and I'm not gonna lie.

 

I would write of roses

their aroma so sweet,

but all I can smell

right now are my feet.

That is great! I laughed at the end. It's a great little poem that offers the humerous side of writer's block. Good job!

Haha, I love it! Way to stick it writers' block. It takes a truly gifted writer to turn writers' block into inspiration. So well done! Thanks for posting.

Very clever! You have an upbeat style about your writing, and I see your humor.

I know how it is, thinking of different things to write about, but not enough interesting details.

I look forward to your next poem, sweetie! : )

Nice work messenger! Love "But most of those fields/have all been paved over."
Too bad we can't post audio of poets reading. I read this out loud and it's great. Blunt and crafty and funny and true.

Another fantastic poem. Needless-to-say, my fav verse was
"I would write of love
but I know nothing about it,
if I did, beleive me,
I'd stand up and shout it"

That really caught me.

Great job!!!!
