Dancing With Writer's Block

D ancing with writer's block

A waltz now and then

N o words

C ome to me as my mind becomes blank

I t's like trying to penetrate a brick wall

N eed a vacation to remedy this situation

G entle strokes of my pen begin to scribble in syllables and sounds

 

W atching the clock on my desk as I wrestle with ideas in my head

I  feel as though I will never write again as I sit here in my easy chair

T alking to myself wondering why it seems so important to me

H oping to find my voice from within as I listen to the stillness around me

 

W riter's block makes me feel like I am literally suffocating

R ealizing this I search for a magic key-word to unlock the mystery

I t comes in the form of an acrostic artistry as I write this poem

T hus, a new creation of words are formed as I wholeheartedly try

E xplaining to you my dear reader what writer's block is like to me

R eleasing the frustrations of a poet who has lost contact with words

's eems to be quite absurd

 

B reaking the ice so to speak is what one must do

L eaving me at my wits end as I so desperately search the abyss

O f mine own creativity with

C ountless hours spent dancing with writer's block

K eeping in mind that this too shall pass
