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.
