A Poem about Nothing in Particular

I wanted to write, but couldn't come up with a good topic

Slow submersion in bottomless boredom,

Mind seething, fingers itching.

“Type!” hollers the blank document,

As brain beckons to poetic genius.

Piggy-bank of thoughts rattles,

Skim... scan...skip!

‘Nature’? monotonously misinterpreted,

‘Friendship’? overtly overrated,‘

Love’? slightly sickening,

‘Heartbreak’?  verily worn out,

‘Depression’? too depressing,

‘Death’? utterly ultimate,

‘Family’? ‘Food’? ‘Fantasy’?

‘Naps’, maybe?

Maybe I should just take one instead.

Always one of the most frustrating things about writing - what hasn't already been done? Turning the frustration into humor and something we all here probably relate to was the key, and I love this! Our minds itch as much as our fingers and you captured that sensation well - as well as the way our mind is so quick to reject timeless topics. The alliteration here was great and I thought really added to the poem.

Thanks for sharing :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

all those worn out poetry topics...sometimes the block really ices up hard...not easy to melt...but writing about it is one good way...and this is intensely clever----you are so good!

Perhaps we wear our masks much too much. (No.)
