Intimidation
December 27, 2009
There is nothing
so intimidating
as the blank page.
Stare at the paper
Empty
A sheet of snow
Fresh
A still pond
Undisturbed.
Must I
be the one
to cause the first ripple
to make the first footprint
to write the first word
?
Remember, we have a plan
Focus.
Pick up the pen.
Poise on the paper
tip down.
Write.

So true, so true. I could totally relate to your poem. I suffer from writer's block all the time; this poem says it all. Oh, the woes of writing! ;) Good job!
