Poetry On Strike

Feeling my creativeness has lost sight, my thought process having some sort of blight, up ahead a mirage, this desert must discard, crawling to water hole with all my might, Once again my poet mind has gone dry, thinking out loud I let out a weary sigh, my mouth in a pout, my mind in a drought, feeling like poetry once again is on strike. 10-27-16

Beautifully expressed poem, Cheryl. Every one of us poets/poetesses have experienced what you so elegantly wrote. You read my poem "Downtime." Here's an added energy burst thought. Think of one word, only one. Then expand upon that, and let the creativity kick in. Love you, lady. Love always to you. RW

So well said, Cheryl, it's better to write on it:) everyone has it some time or the other and it sure feels frustrating, I can relate, and I wait on the Lord during such times...
