The Block

I've been sitting here an hour and the words won't come,
Looking hard for inspiration, getting nothing done,
So I grab a cup of tea thinking "soon man, soon",
But my mind's still a blank and I start to fume.

With ideas like mine I've never had a Block,
So sitting here with nothing is a right old shock,
Because normally it hits me like I'm turning on a tap,
But this morning nothing's coming 'cept a page of crap.

So I head out for a smoke and it hits me right there,
I tend to write a lot about whatever's in the air,
And in the air right then was my big old Block,
So right there I had it and am now un-blocked.

I tend to write about what's happening at the time,
I find that way that my flow's just fine,
Oh sure I'll admit not everything's A- One,
But you show me a writer that pleases everyone.

So next time your sweating trying to pen a piece,
You take my advice, you'll be troubled least,
Just go with the flow of whatever's in your head,
And Old Mr Block can find someone else instead.

As you slide down the Bannister of life, be aware you're gonna pick up a few splinters in the arse along the way.

The Hard Part

The hardest part of writing poetry Is not making sure it all rhymes. It's not even checking your spelling, Nor being topical with the times.

Untitled, thank god.

I can't think of a title, how does one come up with that. Sum it up in just about 2 words and a tip-o-the-hat. My poems are complex, you see.

Writer's Block

. Written words upon the page . My mind, a drain of ink . Seeing every sentence I chew up . I spit back down the sink . Every thought erodes the silence .

I'm Stuck

Ok so I have writers block,. I cannot shift this feeling,. I look down at my paper,. My subconscious is reeling,. I know what I want to say,. But exactly how do I say it,. The plot is in my head,.

The Time

I wish I had the time. To write a perfect rhyme. Make a rhyme that's mine. Oh, I wish I had the time. I wish I had the hours. To write a verse with power. Make a verse that towers.

I said a very long time ago that I was writing a fantasy novel. I haven't stopped writing that fantasy novel, just things keep getting in the way. Most predominately, school.

Writers Block

I have a great idea. So I begin to write. Get the first stanza. Then have a fight. I know the words. Hiding deep in my mind. But they don't come. I look to find. Writers block. Loud and proud.

Well done! 👍😉

@leelee101 cheers my man. It happens to us all I guess. 👍

Good advice! Can't force the words!

@naaviie more you try the more stubbornly they refuse to come. With mr at least. 😉🍃🍃🍃

Yup, trying/forcing creates the block
