Blank sheet. Empty head. Ideas not forthcoming. Wastepaper bin full

Good Haiku... My writers block poem is "A Vacation". Come see it... I can't imagine you with much of a writers block... with such a prolific site...

Oh I don't know. About come to the end of my collection. Only thought of the last one this morning in bed. Came downstairs, went over in my head parts I wasn't sure about then typed it up. Might still need a little refinement. But it's good to get back into writing after almost stopping for a few years. Worked on an idea for a book whilst being out of work although I needed a friend to help with editing to give me a push I needed.

Ah, yes. Those cruel blank pages! My first poem posted on the soup was about writer's block. I loved that you made a haiku on the subject. Nicely done. Always, Laura
