Writer's Block

Drifting in timeless wonder Tattered frames in faceless forms Misplaced words an amnesiac mind Stolen thoughts in seconds frame Images so fleeting are undefinable Time stolen as the clock ticks steadily Drifting in an unknown universe Space and time flutters around me Words flowing within a mirage Pages stand in bare form White, barren without words 7/15/13

i would try a new form or a contest. sometimes other poets give me ideals. but i can say that writing about writers block is a wonderful subject. i've done that before. it was one of my best pieces.

I like this, I guess we all go through that every now and then. There has been times when I want to write something, but nothing comes to my mind. Thanks for sharing...... Lucilla
