Writers Block

What if I don't know what to write? a student says to me
Just use your imagination, I said and write about the sun and the sea

Write about the sun sets
Write about your favorite pets
Write about you touching the moon 
I am sure you'll find a topic soon

But I was wrong oh so wrong
That boy stayed at his desk for oh so long
We were both stuck for ideas both he and I 
We stayed there until the black dark sky

That student and I experienced writer's block
As a teacher it was quite a shock!
