Empty voice
Inspire me to write a poem that you would enjoy;
Tell me what you want to read about and tell me a story.
Ask me a question, decline to use profanity;
Be you man, woman, girl or boy.
Anybody,
Anywhere;
A thought, a wish, an image or a memory.
What is your motif? I desire to know of your desire.
Tell me something you think so I can create a line,
As I listen to them, as they play the lyre.
Let me become a better writer; be the fuel to my fire.
Ignite my passion for being passionate;
I am so scared of fading away, to once more become a cursing liar.
I don’t want to become an empty voice without enlightenment;
I don’t want to disappear from the pages you read.
I don’t want to be forgotten,
As someone who used to bring you enjoyment;
But my soul is dying, my spirit fading and my subconscious is in need.
I need your advice, be it criticism or nice;
I need to know how I can improve upon the words that I write.
I need to entice you back into my life,
Because without you to guide me, I will become a shadow in the night,
Who writes without originality…
Try as I might, to write something you will like.
Save me from obscurity;
Help my chaotic mind find a place of serenity.
Rate me good or bad or offer me a thought;
I will take all your words to heart and view them with awe.
If I can write no more, then so be it, let that be that;
But if there is a way to improve upon those silly things that I do,
Then give me a piece of your mind so that I have a chance.
I strive to improve as I reach out for wisdom;
I am waiting on a light bulb moment and I am feeling so numb.
Give me advice, be it fire or ice;
Just give me something to think about…
So that I can once again, try to write.

I feel the frustration of being blocked in your poem. Excellent job.
Thanx. I'm at the writers block moment now and will be looking for inspiration soon to get me through to the next collection of poems.
Look forward to those😀
!!!!!!! hooray !!!!!!!!! awesome poem about writers block so I guess since you were able to wright it you don;t have it anymore??
No, I wrote it because I have nothing to say at the moment and I am in need of inspiration. I will be looking at art and reading poetry and watching T.V. a lot to help me through to the next poems I will be writing. I wrote this poem because I have nothing of importance to say in a poem at the moment and need some inspiration and thought I would ask my readers for a little help. I want to write about something new.
Wonderfully written and expressed
Thank you. But now my subconscious well is empty...
Welcome
Well said. With a pen in your hand I doubt this will last long. (Consider history or biology, an affair with a teacher, or a date with a clown, a rare serpent specimen all bring the muse around)
Thanx for the advice, but I'm not having an affair with a teacher at the moment, I don't like clowns because they are no fun, but I will look into the serpent idea and see if anything can be drawn from my mind.
