The Writer's Block Curse

This is bad, real bad.
The pen won't touch the pad.
     Try as I might,
I just can't write!
     I scribble it out and try again.
I wanna curse and shout and break this pen!
     It's a quarter past ten,
And this pad hasn't been written in!
     I look down and frown;
Not one verb, adjective, or noun!
     I jump out from my little nook,
And with disgust I throw my notebook!
     I'm just unable to write a verse,
It's the writer's block curse!!

     I restart looking deep within my heart.
I grip this pen but scrambled thoughts are tearing me apart.
     There's a dark cloud over my minds eye;
Silence can speak so loud and my thoughts are flying high!
     I concentrate and formulate a few words,
But nouns and sounds aren't complimenting my verbs.
     This is not the norm, the sentences won't form.
My creativity in my mind is confined in a hailstorm!
     What could possibly be more worse?
I've sunk into obscurity of the writer's block curse......

Hey Jimmie.Thanks for the pleasant comments! I've had writer's block for a couple of weeks...and I just let it pass myself. It's seems it is when I am quiet and observing that it returns! I have tried locating you on Facebook...not sure if I found you...You have quite a collection of poems yourself and I look forward to reading them all! Jeralynn
