Blank Verse?

I am staring at the screen; 
blank screen, blank brain, 
void of imagination and imagery. 

Evaded once again by creativity, 
I stare into the void of inactivity. 
I conjure up a line, glimpse an idea, 

then it is gone, and I can see no more. 
Blank blank blank, 
a blanket of literary fog has descended. 

Composition ended. 
blank screen, blank brain, 
void of imagination and imagery.

Oh yeah, join the club. I can so relate right now. It comes and it goes doesn't it. At least you wrote a good poem about it with a clever title! : ) Love, Shar
