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. 01.07.2022

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

I really think the muse takes a vacation every now and then.

I know this feeling oh too well. It is a great write and hammers home familiarity.

Not a fun place to be, Jo. Try writing whatever comes to mind without rhyme, it may help. Have a great week, Bill Hugs

One suggestion which I never used, is to scribble anything that comes to mind. Sometimes it hits a chord.
