Poetic Soldier

Battling the page, Writers block at the brink. Assassinated words, Hemorrhage colored ink. Rivers of ink flow, From a massacre of words. Stanzas of pain, grace the page, Like of flock of olden birds. Ballpoint swords strike: In written catastrophe. A stained battlefield resides, With bloody poetry.

It's not always butterflies and rainbows for the poet... sometimes it's a hair-pulling nightmare. I like your descriptions of thoughts and words battling it out in a bloody free for all. Imagination is a writers greatest weapon.
