S.R SORROWS Poet Free verse

Writers Block

What to write,what to write, 
I just don’t know what to write
I’ve tried and tried with all my mite 
but I just don’t know what to write

I’ve tried being creative,
I’ve tried adding some flare,
I’ve asked for inspiration 
now I’m in a state of despair.

I’ve tried to go out walking
I’ve  spent hours upon hours talking, 
I’ve tried and tried, 
and tried, and tried 
but still I just don’t know what to write.

So I stopped trying for a minute
and I began to wander  and think,
and I thought to myself that poetry, 
is something that comes from within

then all of a sudden it hit me….

that your never know what to say or write
if your not in the right frame of mind,
so if you just take the  time to relax
your words and poetry will come back.

Karen Jones October 17, 2023 at 1:31 PM Insightful. I like the realization that poetry is natural in most of us and there is no need to force word choice.
