Cramp Poems

Dear Poetry Soup Friends

I have a frightening mental block,
Poetic reserves lost, no stock,
My mood is down and damp,
My hand has constant cramp,
Imagination not worth a dime,
Brain all mushy, turned to slime,
Fantasy faded oh dear oh dear,
Inspiration none, it’s gone I fear,
Funny, horror, politics, history or love,
Blankly, see grey cloudy skies above,
My thoughts are less than dazzling,
Stop me, for

Writer's Cramp Here I Come

Writer's cramp here I come...
(to the rescue and save the day
and hoop fully a damsel in distress!)

Impending thunderstorm
"FAKE" MAGA (nah) if fuss sent)
thwarted, torpedoed - dag nabbit, and trumped
assigned, mandated, and self selected
online poetic writing session.

Yours truly forced to re-learn (ASAP)
at greased lightning speed
archaic pre-internet state of stone age
Neanderthal fashion scribbling.

Throwback versus instant
electronic, excel (lent)
and/or

Cramp From Using Food Stamp

Cramp from Using Food Stamp

Outside was damp  and do have a cramp,
Each time when I had used a food stamp;
Shopping at store,
With rest  of poor,
And have no home and so out must camp.

Jim Horn

Remember when I lived in Seattle area and
people would slept under the bridges.

Finger Cramp

we heard the wagonwheels
the rattling of the axles
the stinge of the horses
the dust they created
we were unmoved
some became frightened
but most of us knew
what they varmints wanted
we stood back to back to make
 sure they weren't getting it
they wanted our gold
and we weren't gonna let them have it!

Writers Cramp Player Haters

I can write for days
Keep on planting trees trees trees
Tell the world not to run out of seeds
That paper is useful
I write with it
Not a single writer's cramp  live in my body I can write for days
So tell the writers cramp player haters to watch out 
what you say about me
because now you hitting up

Writer's Cramp

OK, the pencils are sharp, erasers are handy 
And the paper is fresh for writing.
The chair is comfortable, my clothes are warm 
And the room has plenty of lighting.

This poem is going to be huge and epic, 
It will say everything that’s on my mind.
Every emotional truth, an epiphanous proclamation, 
Every adjective will be underlined.

Now,

Writer's Cramp

Writer's cramp is constipation of the brain
For relief you treat it about the same
Stick a finger in your ear, (no not way down there)
Wiggle it until a thought appears
Then express with all your might
Write it down and get it right
And after you read what you wrote
Always beware and have some hope
Because if it sounds just

Mind Cramp

Sitting here trying to rhyme 
But all I am doing is wasting time

I can’t seem to start a sentence 
 With two words to rhyme in sequence 

I just wanted to express my feelings
Something snappy and appealing

Or maybe a little dark and mysterious
Or light and funny nothing to serious

But here I am staring at this

Poets Cramp

let exageration calm the wit,
pump words out a little bit,
n have a great time....

thanks you p.d.

Being a Tramp Is Giving Me a Cramp By Free Cee

BEING A TRAMP IS GIVING ME A CRAMP

I am a transient and I like it that way
I am a philosopher with intellectual utterances to say
I can’t remain in one place for a very long stay
Because I owe too many dealers money I cannot pay

So if you hear that I’m at someone’s house call me there
Right

Writers Cramp "abridged Version"

I once wrote a poem when i felt really cynical 
  all the letter's had pointed sharp edges. 
 
another time i wrote a poem about a drunk dyslexic
 it read in mumbles from right to left. 

and this one time i wrote a poem about 
a pen that had internal bleeding, it leaked
