Another ABC Story II

 

A nother ABC story written by debileah

B ecause I need to write my feelings out tonight

C luttered thoughts seems to be fogging my brain

D esperately searching for words to fill this empty page

E ffortlessly at times the words spill forth and then it seems

F og steals my muse away and there is nothing more that I can say

G ray clouds come rushing into my view as my poetic words are washed away

H aving to dance with writer's block seems to be my destiny on days like this

I  most often come up with an acrostic poem filling in the blanks sort of like a

J igsaw puzzle...

K eep on writing until the block is gone

L et my pen flow free until the ink runs dry

M aybe I'll have a manic moment who knows?

N eed to be creative but my depressive side is holding me back

O ppressed by bipolar disorder I continue writing until dawn
P ulling words out of the air and letting down my ponytail

Q uestioning my life...

R eading more into it than ought to be said I find myself

S ailing through the obstacles

T reading rough waters

U nsure of whether or not I'll ever write again

V arious forms of poetic words

W riting nonsense in the present tense

X  marks the spot where I sign my name

Y our's truely, unknown poet

Z zz's this poetess need some sleep

Reviews

[R J Askew]

It's actually quite witty for a write of desperation, but maybe when we are up against it we end up getting more than we bargain for. I think the poem wld travel beyond this place and is a good exampe of a writer grappling with the creative provess and showing some basic common sense in how to keep going through the dreaded block.

[An owl on the moon]

I am just so amazed how you are able to take an acrostic and make it flow so perfectly that I forget the form and simply move through your words like floating down a river. This has such depth and tender insight. Truly amazing.
