a poets enemy

it seems that when i try to write

nothing turns out good

i sit forever with this pen

awaiting words to take flight

but it seems my hand is wood

and will never write again

it just rests and waits 

then when i give up 

and put it all away

something brilliant just springs up

and by the time i have paper

this poem just says later

i growl i scream

this mind is so mean

so i just write what little i remember

an impossible word this little thing seems

for when i try my mind wipes clean

leaving nothing but a flickering ember

This is really cool. I like the rhyme sceme, and the way the poem flows. It's cool, and so true. I like it. :)

This describes really well what the feeling is like when you get inspiration, and it just leaves you. I've had this type of block for a few years now, which is why I got so heavily into drawing instead of just writing. I love how you describe the poem-not-wanting-to-appear as being annoying, and kind of cold-shouldered to your frustration; it just makes the experience and problem seem much more alive. All in all it's a really good poem and very accurately describes the issue/feeling.

sometimes it seems a fight, but if the poetry is within us, it will find its way out sooner or later...it can't be kept in by a little writer's block.

one suggestion...it is " a poet's enemy" for the title.

but a good poem to get the parts of the writing machine moving.
