Writer's Block Awaits

The beast

My keyboard is a cinder block
My brain has turned to cake
I'm in that dark and scary place
where writer's block awaits

He's a sneaky thieving demon
My big creative drain
He stuck a straw into my ear
and sucked my little brain

His empty screen stares back at me
when lines and rhymes won't come
He tangles words inside my head
until my skull is numb

He's in the words I never wrote
He's on my empty page
He's the open mic night heckler
who threw up on the stage

He works his evil on this site
when writers disappear
He sells them into slavery
A wicked auctioneer

He's stalking everyone of us
He wants to eat our brains
He's hiding in your closet
He slithers up your drains

Thy wicked demon writer's block
My soul is what you crave
The day I shed this mortal coil
You'll dance upon my grave

Author's Note

He wants all of us

Some great personification here. You describe this horrifying beast very well, and show how he takes over every aspect of our writer's process. Nicely done.

Man, I was poised to write this long and celebratory review of your poem, but I can't think of a single thing to say.

Very cool my friend.
