Poetless II
Poetic Form: Couplet

Blank pages strewed, across the desk of pains,
in a tongue-tied state, censured writer wanes.

The silent voice echoes hollow inked wells,
of dying words crept from a mind that quells.

Overwrought grips, scrawl at piles of long since,
mayhaps some gleam ... sort of sign to convince.

The broken clock held, tells that time does not,
while a mute welcomes, what songbirds still got,

Rambled insights ... a house filled in guises,
shadowed bound words, the heart vaporizes.

In rhythmless moments, just proved the resolve,
pen floors speechless, writer's blankness evolve.
