Poem Artwork

The brain has run out of thoughts,
the pen out of words.  The page
is as blank as before:  blanker.

Writer's block is a stone rolling
downhill:  it gathers no poems
on its descent into the Muse ---

thank God that's not my problem.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (6/17)

I've been there...climbed all the way back up, purposely rolled down again, hoping something...even a weed would snag my attention...and eventually...it did! :) Great pen!
Sorry I've been so absent lately...I think I'm on another downhill now! God, I hope so!
Love and Peace~

I have never had a serious writer's block, as you say, I usually have just the opposite problem which is knowing when to slow down and not over load others with my work. For when that happens people often stop listening or reading whichever the case may be. I think you expressed that quite well here.

Thunderous skies, lightning flashing, had that last night at the Carnival. Was over very quickly but lots of wind blew with it. We stayed dry under pavillion though.

When Jersey Ed has a writer's block he takes Rufuz for a walk, maybe if you ask nicely...

not your problem. For which we are forever grateful.
