Writers Block
The dreaded writers block
is every poets curse
when you're waiting to write
but can't think of a verse
Pen at the ready
but a brain working slow
desperate for ideas
that you hope to make grow
You try a distraction
to encourage a find
a little more coffee
to waken the mind!
When nothing is working
you give up for the day
and wish inspiration
had a bit more to say!
You hope in the morning
with your first cup of tea
that something will trigger
a thought to run free
Then you can start writing
and forget this old curse
just get on with composing
some brilliant verse!
