Writers Block

I lie her with nothing to say. My mind is empy. My bed gives no comfort. I lack the energy to dream. The poetry cannot flow. My heart is dry Where words dwelt confusion is now enthroned. I know the words will come, but time finds no ground. I hold on for imagination to take flight. But blocked is my mind. Surely the ravenous emptiness will give way to fruit. What sense is there with no words? I am all a blank. Does not the muse aspire to grant an inspired kiss? Art seems a foreign dialect. I rip away one idea after another. That was no good. Articulate words articulate. Do not squander your rhetoric meanings. Maybe the dawns light will hold virtue. Till then the stars glimmer in thy dreams.

Thanks Jim. it's strange how poetry works. The words just come from nowhere. You just sit there mind blank and then they start writing themselves. Very strange!

Nice write Daniel! Writer's block is every writer's nightmare. And when it happens that's when you have to change your focus, step back and try again later(easier said!).

They say write what you know. If the words don't flow or won't come then I guess you should just write about that.
