Writer’s Block

A block of cells begins a life A block of time in which to try To grow to mold to give to strive A block of blessings before I die A block party so happy and gay A block of neighbors laugh and play Music games they dance and bake An evening so festive my mind can taste A block of cheese left for mouse Smart you see he gets it out Never can catch that mouse somehow His block of brains keeps him around On writer’s block is where I live For the neighborhood block takes and gives A starting block of inspiration and will Writer’s block itself is a gift

Such an imaginative and creative use of 'block,' Karen. Bravo! ~ H&R Bloch

I love all the 'blocks' to which you referred. I especially liked 'block of time'--sometimes I need that block of time to deal with my writer's block :-)

I hate it when I want to write but ideas are flat! This poem was a product of writer’s block! Thanks for liking it Sara!
