Kristy Chun Poet Rhyme

Writer's Block

Someone asked why my words have been so silent.
 I stopped to think and ponder why.
 I wrote a line or two,
 scratched them out and wrote another few.
 Like sands of an hourglass, words should flow, 
 but from mind to paper they would not go.
 Jumbled in a mess of ink I'm sure there is some order.
 Confusion is an illusion as all I had to do was think.
 Writer's block they call it, where it is all stop and go.
 Finally I had success, so here you go!
 I write to alleviate my emotional stress,
 whether happy or sad I'm such a mess!
 ok, perhaps that's not totally true, 
 there is some meaning an occasional message or two.
 Perhaps a lesson in my words for others to wake up to.
 Like a stopper behind an incredible force, 
 words started flowing, I couldn't stop!
 My hand started cramping and my ink ran out,
 I finally gave up and what you are left with is this rant!
