WRITER'S BLOCK

WRITER'S BLOCK

A Poem by The Elder

 

Been trying to think

of something to write.

Been sittin' here thinkin'

most of the night.

 

I would write of love

but I know nothing about it,

if I did, beleive me,

I'd stand up and shout it.

 

I would write of young

maidens beauteous and fair

but I don't think my mem'ry

can get me back there.

 

I would write of green

fields full of sweet clover.

But most of those fields

have all been paved over.

 

I would write of the moon

hanging bright in the sky,

but I can't see the thing

and I'm not gonna lie.

 

I would write of roses

their aroma so sweet,

but all I can smell
  right now are my feet.

I love this poem for what it is - a happy escape from a place you didn't wish to be in lol :) nice ! This poem is cute, tongue-in-cheek, and for someone with a 'block' you have escaped it fantastically well :) great job - strong structure and rhythm - a breeze to read and even better to enjoy :) - Thanks !

Sometimes the best inspiration is the lack of it! This was a great poem, funny and sweet. The rhythm is spot on and the subject is simply hilarious! Very well done, I loved it.

Hi, I've been writing all my life, but have become semi-serious about it late in life. I am of retirement age and live alone in Central Florida. My personal beliefs are quite unorthodox and you may.. more..
