Writer's Block MAG
November 13, 2008
Writer’s block …
fingers waxen, halting
typing out a repetitive, ugly pattern
the words like burns across the page.
Hesitantly, I gingerly attempt to grasp hold of my
unusually absent river of creativity
tapping the flow
guiding it to where it is needed, an irrigation system for the drought in my head
and am met with empty hands and slapped wrists.

Oh, wow, I'm living this poem right now! Yeah, you've got it pretty much right about how writer's block is. You know, I actually had to explain it to a friend the other day, I should have shown her this poem. Do you think maybe you could check out some of my work? Please?

learn some new words, its an awesome tool to have when you write if you know the most obscure type of word.
