Writers Drought

I search through leafs of carefree past
In scribbled lines left half undone
For wisdoms sage to point the path
Back to where it first begun
My one last chance to grip the quill
And spin the trials of venture bold
A gift to those that follow still
By spinning folly into gold

I enjoyed the energy of this and the rhyme! I have writer’s block so the poems I’m writing suck! Forcing them out after a kind poet suggested I keep writing.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" Holy cow! Karen you are a prolific writer. I can only hope to aspire to such heights. I think any who pen to paper give experience its ultimate form. I find that when I'm in a slump, the best thing to do is set it aside for a time and come back with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Life has no instruction manual, except for the gifts we write to posterity.
