Writer's BlockA Poem by clairvoyantmarsMy mind’s at a blank I want to write but I can’t Whether with a pen in my hand Or my fingers positioned above the keyboard The words don’t come I close my eyes for inspiration Or read something for motivation Or head outside for stimulation But the paper lays bare A few phrases now and then Only to be erased in the end Then when I least expect it Like when I’m ironing my shirt Or singing in the shower I get something A small sliver of an idea I ponder on it more And soon it leads to more questions And the idea expands It leads me to my plot And soon enough the thought’s there I’ve grasped it I grab for the nearest piece of paper at hand And scribble this small idea I have The words flow out at a gentle pace Going and going till it leads to the end At last!
