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!
