Writer Blocked by Writer's Block

Writer's block. Don't you hate it?

I'm a little bit

writer's blocked.

My brain is a little

over-locked.

Ever heard of a

mind-rocked

hurt and beaten man.

They mocked.

I'm kind of sick and tired

of spending my whole life wired

to do things that expired

long ago. I should be fired

and never ever rehired

because I look inspired

to go back. Reacquired

sayings are the required

peace of info. Admired

are those who never tired

of being the best. Transpired

events I never look back on.

Those things are very much gone.

I take over like Genghis Khan,

reclining on the front lawn

of living my life thereupon,

being who I have to be.

I'm forced to fight, and forced to see

pieces of me I never could be.

Why be me? 

Why set free

loose-leaf trees 

on bended knee?

Agree with me 

that I could flee,

instead of be

and try to foresee

the future. We

are just crazy.

I feel lazy,

so now sorry.

I'm out the door,

not on the floor.

Should I soar?

Should I do more?

Most of all, can I change your

life with words I say. Adore

me or adore me not, sure.

Now, I will try to find a cure

for this writer's block mentality.

To be honest, the brutality

of this is above normality.

Now, I need to go back into my large stock

and dig deeper. Curse this writer's block!

Author's Note

I have serious writer's block, so I just rhyme random things. Not my best work, but sometimes it's just good to put something down, even if it isn't gonna win any contests or change any lives or anything.

I use Leonard Cohen, Lana Del Rey and J.B Harvey. Always their song defeat my writer's block. Sometime a walk into a forest or by a lake/ocean if you are lucky. Kill the writer's block. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

hi David, your poem, 'Writer Blocked by Writer's Block' is one of the finer poems I've read on this site ... so far ... so good. In fact, very good and I like the rhyme. Keep writing, please. I think you are quite creative.

david, I think that you took the BLOCK out of writer's block with this well-written piece. It seems natural and the rhymes don't seem at all forced, which is great. My feeling on the novelty-theme that the shaping of the text is configured into is this: this is fine to present this way, but do so very sparingly. Like not for a good while now. The reason is you do not want the zigzag design of the write to distract readers from the message you wish to impart. Trust yourself that the write is effective enough without the gimmicky format. Nice job, david. take care...dan

Writer's block is an all too familiar experience. It sucks.

However, the poem was pretty good anyway!

Yep...familiar situation...i mean the writers block. Yes, the best thing to do is probably to write it out. I did it a couple of times.
