With my hands poised
Over the keys
I sift through thoughts
In my mind
Trying to figure out
What I should write
A poem, a story,
A deep moving post?
A rant, A review
Or something about work?
A cause, A memory
Or just a silly tag?
An observation, An experience
Or something from the mags?
I type some words
But delete them soon
I play with ideas
All afternoon
Nothing makes sense
Nothing sounds good
Not even a review
Of my favourite book
I don’t know where to start
Nor how to end
I guess I could attempt
To try and pretend
Until this mind
Is finally unlocked
And I’ve gotten rid
Of this writer’s block

Writing through Writer's Block | Living my Imperfect Life
7 August 2014 at 2:41 pm[…] Writer’s Block. That evil thing that strikes even the best of us. It makes your mind fuzzy and no matter how long you stare at the screen or the page, nothing seems to eventuate. You had a zillion ideas and a gazillion thoughts but for some reason, the words just don’t come out. What do you do? […]
