Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

Up In Smoke

Writer’s block
Mind is locked
Words are stuck
No muse luck
Thoughts don’t flow
Musings slow
Rack my mind
Nothing find 
Poetry
Set me free
I am lost
Notions tossed
Storm within
Causing din
Let me think
Give views ink
Want to write
It’s a fight
Feeling blue
Have no clue
Mind in knots
All my thoughts
Up in smoke
Not a joke
Where’s my muse?
Went on cruise
Ponder deep
Cannot sleep
Blank page mocks
Writer’s block.

John Watt January 25, 2022 at 4:12 PM I love this, Jo, and who on this site can not relate to this: "Where’s my muse? Went on cruise". A challenging form nicely put together - you make it seem effortless. Blessings ~ John

Kim Rodrigues January 8, 2022 at 7:20 PM I really think the muse takes a vacation every now and then.

Virginia Gelok January 8, 2022 at 7:48 AM I know this feeling oh too well. It is a great write and hammers home familiarity.

Anne-Lise Andresen January 8, 2022 at 7:23 AM - We all experience it, Jo ... your muse will be back soon :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Bill Baker January 7, 2022 at 8:18 AM Not a fun place to be, Jo. Try writing whatever comes to mind without rhyme, it may help. Have a great week, Bill Hugs

Victor Buhagiar January 6, 2022 at 10:45 PM One suggestion which I never used, is to scribble anything that comes to mind. Sometimes it hits a chord.

P.S. Awtry January 6, 2022 at 9:50 PM Very relatable! Best of luck :)
