Fill in the Blank

Fill in the Blank

 

What does it take

To get inspired

Write down a few words

Here and there

 

Add a

 

Few different

 

Paragraphs

 

And form

A stanza

 

What kind of dime

Does it take

To make something rhyme

Without sounding fake

 

Does one have to be in public

And center their attention on someone else

To have their mind grinding and working

Coming up with a new work

 

Does one have to see something

Sparkly and shiny

Catching their eye in a dark room

To jot down a few notes

And make a masterpiece out of it

 

Does one have to be in a certain mood

Sad happy mad lonely

To write about a certain topic

 

Does it have to be quiet

Does it have to be loud

Does it have to be daylight

Or is the moon alright?

 

Should I put punctuation,

Or should I leave it b l a n k

With spaces in between

To represent the blankness

 

Oh, how witty is that?

 

What does it take to be inspired

For the mind to drift far enough

To write down something new

Write down something interesting

Or is it all about writing down nonsense

And hope a stranger would come along for the ride

And understand every word you’ve written

Author's Note

Maybe I'm suffering from writers block, maybe I've been busy, or maybe my mind isn't all here.

Sorry for the wait guys. Here's a new one. Not sure what the topic is, kinda jumbled lol.

Enjoy!

I've often thought of many of the questions you bring up. I've written things in the past that were imaginary on the spot type poems that people thought were good. Other times I've taken so long on something and gotten nothing in return. It's a tricky path we take as writers and it's not easy to come up with something original. Lately I've been writing for myself and I like it that way. Good luck in your writing.

I have to be seething to write a rant...I can't manufacture rage, so I think your questions are valid. Not terribly nonsensical, this, but I completely understand that aspect of it, too...sometimes the things over which people gush make me go O.O huh?

Thanks for sharing this...glad your block is unclogged ;-)

[Destinyxi]

Im glad too. thanks for reviewing!

[KAOlmsted]

A very good poem. I read other people poetry. I take a word or phrase. Write the words down. Later try to gather a poem or thoughts. Many ways to get motivated to write. Music is the easiest way. Songs with meanings and purpose always awake my desire to write. I like your thoughts and question in the excellent poem.

Well, writers' block or not, this turned out to be an awesome poem. This was a neat little bit about writing in and of itself, and I very much enjoyed this piece of yours. Thanks for sharing!
