Plumb Line Hoisted Deep

Brainstorm cometh, damning

frontal hemisphere

jamming lookout, noggin perched,

roiling thinking

uber wayfaring zealot,

drills legendary phalanx.

Writer's block afflicts Das scribe,

who whiz now stricken supine

adept dull livery sub par excellence

his gold standard worse

thus, another day

to slog thru arduous process

crafting admirable verse

wrestling behemoth loosed sniper

dodging enfilade

broadcast sos terse.

N'er easy chore to fashion

acceptable word

worth poem to whit

staring at flickering

accursed cursor

doth blank stare visit

flash flooding warning saturated

gray matter fist sized unit

groundswell burgeoning

leveed banks

barging signals transmit

urgent army corps of engineers

to reroute via sluice, sans surfeit

apprentice longshoreman

doth double duty

as grammarian sought to retrofit

arduous struggle ensues,

where drowning

affects consummation

strong temptation quit

ditch ching progress made,

thus far in hot pursuit

mind comfortably numb

stream of consciousness

submerges concentration

entrenched deep posit

craftiness sentenced to punctuate

disequilibrium doth outwit

venerably beaded trademark

Scottish matted flair

abandoned unfinished poem

left forever stranded orbit

zero escape velocity

zinging, unsprung,

pinging mindscape nonprofit

able endeavor reflecting zeitgeist

bombarding Messerschmitt

undermining, strafing, disabling

cutting crew rescue outer limit

faint feint blinking in the twilight zone.
