Notes About The Poem

I really had nothing to write about. Just writer's block.

What Should I Write

How must I script MAGIC upon this page?  I don't know what to write about.
Maybe it's writer's BLOCK. 
What should I write? INK BLOTS? 
TIME? Tick tick tick. Said Tock the melodious clock. 
There I go. I amuse myself.  HA!

I'm a SOLDIER brave and strong to withstand writers block 
All years long. 
What should I write haven't got a clue.  Words were once 
Plentiful now are few. What's a poet to do? Pen on cue?

What should I write about today? I know i'll say, in 1966 I was
Born with a quiet cry.  NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 
But I........am a DREAMER, the CONSEQUENCES of being a 
dreamer is at times I'm unable to dream a word.
Looking towards gray and rainy DAYS. I haven't a thing to say.

What should I write today must be writer's block that has me
In a stew. My mind confused shadows DANCING on the walls 
Lightly chanting, time is fleeing fast.

I haven't any words to furnish this pristine page. I'm in a 
Panic.  A POET without a word Is a poet without his pen 
Encaged.
Still at the end I don't know what to write.  Should I begin 
Again.

WARNING: One thing. Beware of the BLOCK
