Blocked by Bloodmoon

Looking at a white blank page
As if it has something to say 
Word wizard won’t you rescue me
Lot lizard don’t please for free

Muse is confused she needs prayer
I’m bored and blue without her care
Watching blood moon peeking cloud
Pen saint or sin but write it down 

Writer’s use pen like a needle
Now and then pulse is feeble 
Needing eyes to spy written words
To feel alive and fly like bird

This poem sucks like babe on breast
Writer’s block is still a turquoise test
I never pass it I cheat with finesse 
Blood moon spoons me food to digest

Really like the lines: Writer’s use pen like a needle Now and then pulse is feeble Enjoyed reading and relatable to the dry spells in writing. Nicely done, Karen.

'Now and then pulse is feeble' struck me just right. Smiles, Gershon

Lol. This is good. Deceit in my life has stalled my muse also.

Karen, poems about writing always create a good feeling among us. We all have issues with inspiration, and can relate to this. There was a recent lunar total eclipse, and so just like that perhaps our inspiration comes back. I've noticed that demands of life create suction that takes away a lot of energy we might wish to direct to word smithing. Hope you are well and smiles!!

Very interesting comment and I never thought about that! I did watch the blood moon eclipse at 3am. It was tiny but noticeable. I am well and hope you are too! Blessings Duke!

Sounds like a muse snuck in and out with out you knowing. She did a very good job!
