Unwriter's Block

Etched in suspended time

Emotions unravel knots

Leaking from an empty pen

Spiraling in cursive form

Cascading across the paper

With refined thought

Words dance across lines

Twirling with delight

Streaming with enthusiastic flare

Ink blots become defined

Sketched master pieces

Decorate thin parchment

Hard when the mind is empty of thoughts and emotion. I use music and reading to try to open my mind to write.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I was working too much and my mind just couldn't focus on writing for awhile.

It is always such a blessing to come out of writer's block, simply because the words flow with such power, such urgency! You can write for hours and not bother looking or caring about the time. Writing is so raw and new after writer's block, I love it...

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. Writers block sucks

[I Am Svetlana]

It surely does. I used to write nearly everyday back in high school and nowadays, I write about a couple times a month. So odd...

I always love reading the writing process through someone else's eyes. I love the idea in the first stanza of emotions unraveling knots/leaking from an empty pen..that's a great image.

I have several about writers block. It helps to get the juices flowing again. I am glad you liked the imagery.

Bloody good fun! Very good portrayal of the madness of a writer. That's how I took it anyway. I think we are all a bit mad. This poem is beautifully mad and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Poetic Beauty]

I do think we are all a bit mad. We feel very deeply and that is how we are able to put emotions into words and have our readers feel them.

I guess I'm going to take your advice and write anything when this happens to me, I normally don't write unless I feel like it..and most of the time I can't write anything.

great poem..you made the elements come to life beautifully..

You will find inspiration can come from many different things. Words themselves can create an form of inspiration all on their own.

and what seems to work best for me when i have writers' block?

writing about it. you did that quite well in this piece...and once again the pen leaks.

[Poetic Beauty]

to break writer's block you have to write even if it is only garbage. lol I am glad you liked this piece.

I could see this one animated in my head, it is so nicely written

[Tina Kline]

A very creative poem describing a painful situation or writers. Always relief when the words start flowing again.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is very true. It is like losing a best friend when the words simply won't speak.

[Tate Morgan]

turning emotions into thoughts tough isnt it
