Depleted

Oh well.

I'm depleted of words

I've nothing to say

As for posting new poems

Maybe someday.

I've said all I can

My pen's out of ink

I guess I need time

to read and think.

Author's Note

If I knew the secret I'd use it. I'm just another frustrated writer.

You aren't alone. Sometimes I feel I've said it all before and the cupboard is bare. It happens. After a while, it can change.

I'm sure it can. Thanks, Chris.

I can relate. Sometimes I get frustrated when I can't jump from one work to another continuously. But the fact is the batteries occasionally need time to recharge.

I suppose so. Thanks, John.

Hi I can relate to this poem at moment
I’m in Sydney and we in strict lockdown for nearly two months and more to come I’m just so over it and frustrated with what’s happening with our govt and leaders it’s like the ink has stopped flowing in my heart and mind
I hope you start again but I did ❤️ love the poem here you wrote
I come on here daily for my medicine of reading others poems and do this after my morning coffee in bed
Good luck 🤞

Thanks very much, Julie. I can understand your gloom over this covid thing. Our lives have been put on hold for too long.

Hello, Relic! :)
Its refreshing to see you accept your impotence. There are few things sadder than a dull man pretending to be passionate. I'd rather listen to a dog bark. I doubt you'll be able to write again. I dont think you have the rage for it. And I doubt you could prove me wrong.

[Relic]

Well, thanks for the encouragement, Matt. ha And thanks for your thoughts.

[mattavelli]

I guess that was a fail. Haha
Would you like a topic or challenge?

Stay strong my friend we all have been there. I went through a bout of writing block that was about 15 yrs long. Sometimes writing is small stream that slowly rushes to a river that leads to an ocean. And then you find yourself back to a stream or even a puddle. Take the time to once more recharge your writers eyes. Your muse will be singing in no time once again.

Thanks, Carlos. :)
