Writer's Block

The constant aching of deep despair A cutting sword to the novelist’s pen Mythical creatures are no match for this legendary obstruction The chaotic stillness proof of the battle inside a genius mind The search for a word, phrase or rhyme Ever reaching for that just beyond his grip Literary collections are not of use What is written is cemented, not to be moved, The perfect sentence not his for the taking He returns to the parchment The ink drips from his quill The dark spot is a new world for discovery
