The words don't want to come
I can't find them in the haze
When I try to think I just feel dumb
Instead of filling the paper, I sit in silence filling ashtrays
Where have the words gone off to
When they're here their in abundance
But, then they leave, my thoughts can't seem to breakthrough
To a writer, writers block is such a hindrance
Hello! I like your poem, and I know how you feel!!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted my 'F' to be a short story that I am working on but it just wouldn't come. In my frustration I wrote this.
DeleteI have yet to experience writer's block to the point where I can't write anything, but it drives me bonkers when there's a word just on the tip of my brain and it won't come out!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with a-z.
Yes! That is very annoying.
DeleteHello from the A to Z. Great poem for all those times when there is nothing beyond a blank page. Happy A to Zing.

Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean and almost had a 'moment' myself in the past few days. Another great poem. You are really good at this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate you saying that.
DeleteHello, I'm dropping in from the A-Z.
ReplyDeleteGood idea,to write a poem when the story lines just won't flow.
Thing is though, a poem is a little story in itself so perhaps you have managed to get through the block for now?
Good luck with your A-Zedding

ReplyDeleteMay the writing muse return for you

Work that keyboard you will see
It's no more complicated than A, B C!
All the best for the rest of the Challege.
Very clever poem. I hope it works its magic on me.
Deletei have no creativity when it comes to poetry. I leave that to my daughter. However, she is 17 and it is mostly about the rain in her empty soul.

Well, as I remember it, 17 is a rain in your empty soul kind of time.
