Best Uninspired Poems

I aspired to be inspired,  
So I labored all the day. 
No inspiration--just perspiration,  
I guess I'd better use the spray...

my pen today is slow and weak
so bleak of what people seek
of love it see's empty lines
only memories of what's far behind

my patriot lies in a silent grave
unremembered are the boast he made
my pride has fears of being attacked
unmoved by silence and hearing he lacks

I’ll pick my topic
And write a bit
Then two lines in
The words won’t fit...

I sit here uninspired. 
Creativity burning but 
page blank - staring back 
with vacant eyes. 

Searching for a word 
a beginning, a flash of 
memory, an image, something 
to start the literary flow..... 

....but no cerebral utterance 
perforates the thought waves. 
The page remains blank....

these things. themes. sounds. and simple symbols. ruthless. yet I'm rooted. interwoven and deeply rooted. I'm inspired....

A void
A vacuum
I am an empty space and unyielding
Barren and dry
A word desert
A vulture lands and picks at 
a dead sentence
The clouds of a brainstorm
hover and shrink in the distance
And the air is stale with the unimaginative
I can tell that nothing good 
will be written...

Languid notions
Curse my head
The cursor on 
My screen blinks_...

My muse lays sleeping
ignoring my pleas to wake
wanting only to keep dreaming.

But I cannot see those dreams!

I wanted my muse to dance with me
but I was just handed a bouquet
of artificial flowers.

Now what am I supposed to do with that!

devoid of motivation,
emptied & 
without ideas, creative
vision, focus or the ability to 
brainstorm,
s/he enters the night
out through the door to
her/his dwelling,
to define what it is to
exist in this present moment,
for the night brings
worry to the senses,
when the mind treads water
in the fears of our distant

Pray for me red heart bleeds
Giving up on turquoise dreams

Can’t design a silver fishing line
To pull back in passions unwind

Gave up so long emerald ego for sure
What use to matter doesn’t anymore

Perhaps I’ll find inspiration in old age
My purpose to be a warning an old...

Unironically uninspired,
I drift through the grey,
Floating through hours,
A lone leaf on still water,
Away from my life source,
Insignificant and yet common,
Waiting for the storm.

There’s no fire in my chest,
No spark, no fight,
Just the dull hum of existence,
A clock ticking in a quiet room.
I breathe in the...

Uninspired, yet I sit and write
Wondering what to say
I pour my heart into my words
And think of yesterday

Birds chirping, gentle breeze
Feeling calm, soul at ease
Free to do as I please

Peace Acquired
Uninspired

Sitting,
Alone and uninspired
Ruminating on my throne 
Of the tired

Freezing,
My heater, broken and retired
In a building whose condemnation
Remains desired

Searching,
For some deeper, elaborated meaning
To a poem procrastinated 
A cause for my demeaning 

Sulking,
I lack muse and direction
I can only imagine the forthcoming drear
Of this poem’s lection

Drinking,
My hot...

I’m once again in a block
Nothing to do with political shock

That was not such a surprise 
As USA has evil influence and lies

No for me it’s a lack of passion
I’m becoming more old fashioned 

Bored with the new stuff of the day
Finding comfort in familiar...
