Writer's Block

barren saplings of thoughts
strain against conglomerates 
praying for rain

I can relate. A short while ago I had a different sort of writer's block, I started doubting myself, constantly comparing myself to other poets. So counter productive. Luckily some Soup friends helped me get back on track :)

Where have you gone to, Deb? After almost two years, you should be over that writer's block. When you get a chance stop by to say Hi. I'd love to hear from you, and I'd love a new poem from you, too. Hugs, Rhonda
