Void of Ideas

Okay. So this is what happened to me... minus the window and bird part... but it was close to this XP

I stared at the monitor,
then half an hour gone by,
yet the screen stayed blank,
almost like the clear sky.

Inspiration does not come.
For it, do I have to look?
Will it come to me on its own,
or should I gather it from a book?

I winced, I sighed, I gawked, I tried,
I paced, I slumped, I blinked, then cried,
All ideas gone, my brain has gone dry,
and all that thinking got it fried.

I stopped a while and stared out the window,
A small bird whistled a tune so calm.
My lips suddenly broke into a smile,
Inspiration in its own will shall come.

Haha wow such an honest write, can really relate sometimes I'm sitting watching television but my minds distracted and the slightest of sound or beauty that my eye can catch a hold on to suddenly inspires me.. Unlike a muse that can be a constant source of motivation, sometimes we gotta stop thinking and just grasp in all surrounding creation, something will stand out, and be our inspiration. Great write sir! loved it

Indeed, indeed! We just have to see what is already there! Thank you for the kind words :)

Indeed! nice way to describe that situation all of us go through

[Monster ^.^]

Haha! And that Idea came from my irritation of not having an Idea! :)

not having an idea could be an idea itself... Mind = blown xD

The first three stanzas sound like me- a lot.
But, alas, I have writers block, for the time being :3
All in all, good work. c:

That's a writer's greatest obstacle indeed :3

Indeed it is!
