Out of Ink

Out of Ink
 
Mr. Rorschach if you will
dry up; lend me your quill.
 
I’ll cast some inspiration
for your interpretation.
 
Dumbfounded pen
out of ink again.
 
If I could find a trickle,
my poem would fetch a nickel

Writer's block? Surely not. Quite and amusing turn of events in this one. Succinct yet very humorous. Hopefully Rorschach won't do a portrait and ask people what they think! I am being facetious I am sure you are true beauty that could never be mistaken for anything but that. ~Kilmer

Kathryn, you've taken a seat in the stadium that is my dilemma. I feel as though my pen has run dry. Inspiration is fleeting at best. I'm so far down in the abyss of verbal discord that I don't know which was is up. But I know that, soon, I will catch a bubble of thought that will bring me back to the surface once again to bask in the sunlight. That's just how it goes. Let Rorschach study that ink blot for a while. Good write. At least, you gave me some fodder for thought. Rockman :-)
