Writer's Block

Writer's block
Has finally struck
I watch the clock
As the hands fly

No ideas
Nothing in my brain
So this is what happens
When I don’t feel insane

Writing, 
My one joy
Has left for now

I hope I’m merely toying with myself
Because oh how sad I will be
If I permanently place
My writing on the shelf
