I never had the writer’s block. 
Too many thoughts moored at my dock.
Ideas and dreams come way too easy 
some are smart, while others cheesy.  

I often wonder why writers cry 
they can't think of, the how or why
their stories or their poems stop 
in midstream, with an empty drop.  

There are ways to battle this. 
Exchange dark moods for writer's bliss. 
Look around and expand your vision 
watch reruns of television.  

Watch TV without the sound. 
Pretend to write the script profound.
Movie summaries can lend a thought

to new ideas that can be sought.

Listen to some oldie’s songs 
hear the words of right and wrongs.
Love and joy the words are there 
to inspire you with thoughts to share. 

Farmer’s market, ask them questions
Attend a class, take some lessons.
Find a bench and let time fly

Create your characters as they walk by.

See your library right in town. 
Read old magazines in quiet sound.
Go to a racetrack but do not bet. 
Watch the others cheer and fret.    

Don’t tell me you’re out of words. 
Go city surfing, check out the burbs.
Writer’s block goes away real fast. 
Reread this poem and get off your ass.
