No bitterness to spare

A poetess without any inspiration, surely that's worse than death?

My shadow deserted me one day

And my poetry failed to write

I could but use lips to pray

And hope for hope bright

 

 

Pieces of poetry left forlorn

Looking sad and undigested on paper

Tear smudges would adorn

What time only corrodes later...

 

 

Wonderings of the ancient world

And history is so accursed

Wisdom can never ever be so pearled

Drowning watercan be immersed.

 

 

Insane thoughts only fill my mind

The brain has no power here

If I was searching for what I find,

I would have no bitternes to spare.

Author's Note

Well, I really did not find inspiration one day... And that kind of gave me inspiraation to write this.

Don't feel bad dear poetess for we all experience our writer's block and then we become frustrated. Some are mild , some are severe. Prayer is good like you said, meditation on life , find inspiration in nature and people ... Even the negative can be one not just the positive.
Well penned piece...:)

*smile* ~ Well, I thank you for that encouraging comment. That was actually the first time I had ever felt the writer's block, and thankfully, I haven't experienced any more than that... In some ways, it is inspiring..
And you sound real clever, and I appreciate the read;-)

[Sami Khalil]

I happens to me too. You are welcome...:)

Not finding inspiration to write about not finding inspiration to write. Wow, that, is what writing is all about to me. have no ideas popping into your head, so instead of being bitter about it, you write about it.

Poetry, what an awesome tool!

Great write my friend. elegant and on the mark...!

[Krithika Raghavan]

Thank you so very much. I've even recently written a play about that. I'm just that obsessed with the idea. And I'm so sorry for my late reply. I've not been using this site for soooo looooong

[realmwriter]

Very creative and very well written. You are very welcome and no need to apologize, I took no offense.

[Black Cat Fever]

This is really good. Sometimes no inspiration can create something really inspired. Good job on this! Truly!

[Krithika Raghavan]

THat's true, that's true....

[PurpleQuartz]

Beautiful weaving with the words!

[Krithika Raghavan]

THank you for the wonderfully woven comment..

[SHEEMA HUQ]

this is really interesting because you speak of trauma without bitterness, a particular, yet reflective, psychologcal-emotional state of being, nicely described

[Krithika Raghavan]

A nice analysis of my poem in those two lines. Thank you for reading.

[Invisible]

i feel you, i've felt that, the world is so cold and harsh. at least you can right poems about it and make it sound neat.

[Krithika Raghavan]

Indeed, what you say indeed is true!! THank you, goingmonk;-)

For this is a illness if ever so we all as writers have had time and time again and we get frustrated when trying to make the puzzle pieces fit. Very good depicting the aggravating circumstance of writer's block for this is one of the many different experiences we all face as always keep writing fellow writer.

[Krithika Raghavan]

I appreciate the read and your outlook of my poem. I thank you ;-)

[kelvin]

You're very welcome

[Terra Hart]

Wow, you have some impressive writer's block! :) I found it very enjoyable! ......as earlier stated "it is a better way, to take the writer's block away" (paraphrased as that might be!) :)

[Krithika Raghavan]

[poeticpiers]

How very strange it is that writers block inspires so much poetry

[Krithika Raghavan]

Indeed... I have met a few other poets on another site who have been inspired like this too...
