Writer's Block

Christina8

Sometimes I get writer's block

Words are so hard to come by

The ideas will just not flow

But all i can do is try

 

My house is so busy and loud

So much runs through my mind

Trying to write poetry in a

quiet place is just so hard to find

 

Ideas and words get jumbled

Nothing comes to fruition

The only thing filling up 

is my recycling bin

 

I'm trying to think of what

I want to say without getting too deep

I think I'll have to get back to this 

tomorrow after I get some sleep

      Good write Christine. Be all extempore - long word there lol. Be flowing, and maybe gushing and waffling too! A bit of waffle never did anyone any harm, as long it don't go on for ever! heehee.

        Great work C - if I can't think of anything I just walk - something always comes whatever I am doing - I only hope there is pencil and paper to hand.

        • Christina8

          This comes to us all from time to time dear friend - - I keep pen and paper to hand and write down snatches of thought as they come to the mind.Great however to see you posting such a sweet rhyme.

            Christine, your poem about writers block ain't bad for somebody with writers block!

                look at it this way. this elusive thing we call writers-block, to me, just appears to be a fictional illusion. it's just an excuse I believe. you never hear of mechanic block, engineering blocks or any any blocks you can thing of. it's writers that just seem to get it. we think about a million irrelevant things a day which invade us mentally. simply block those out. it's too easy to blame so blame nothing, free your beautiful mind up with some new spare space and it will rise to fill it up with poetry. good luck and a good poem.

                  Thank you Kevin, appreciate the advice and the compliment! Well at least I have overcome my poem-block on this slow sunday afternoon. Thanks again!

                      Writers block as it is known is a contrivence. When a writer has something worth writing they will write about it. When they haven't some people call it writers block, others simply don't write.
