Writer's Dilemna

The page is blank, what do I do? Waiting silently in that moment for inspiration anew. Words dance like pixies as they come and go, But for some plagued reason, there is no rhythm or flow. Thoughts once gathered from wisdom's wing Cannot find their voice though they try to sing. The writer stands alone in that place For he is the one who must find the pace. But when the pace is not to be found Words and paper cannot be bound. The blank page looks up and says quietly... "Where are the words you promised to me?" written 9/11/15 Note: I was a member 6 years ago, but have not been active because of an accident. I consider myself an "old poet".

You are in trouble because by now I expect great poetry from you. This poem brings it! I have found more talent on your page than those laden with comments. Maybe you should enter something in the contest for 'old poets.' I feel, you should be noticed ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I have been in trouble since I was 5...lol. Anyway, I do believe I have tried some of the old poets contests, but I don't remember which ones. I appreciate your encouragement.
