ugh...

            you again? 
         enough!
p  l  e  a  s  e, enough...
writer's block!
just leave me alone. 
r  e   m  o  v  e...
the crippling hex 
you've put on me.

I need no vacation!

          q  u  i  t
      sucking dry
the ink in my pen;
allow it 
         to s  k  a  t  e 
from point A to B!

let it flow freely,
        I implore you...
just let it bleed!

you seem to 
             enjoy 
sticking to me
       like a stamp 
on an envelope....
      I need some room 
to b  r  e  a  t  h  e!

          please, 
      leave me alone!
          q  u  i  t 
               stifling 
      my creativity.
                  you've pinioned
      the wings
of my imagination!
snip off the strings 
so it takes flight 
a  g  a  i  n.
bother me no more, I said.
leave 
        me 
              alone!

Occurs from time to time … a way of the universe whispering ‘it’s me, not you, that writes’

That muse tends to be moody from time to time. Well said, Edward. Who hasn't experienced this hurdle in creativity!
