Poem Artwork

A bit of writer’s block I’m having now.
I know why, but I don’t know how,
To write a poem so apropos.
Almost impossible,
Of course you know.

But if seeds enough I do sow,
And out the window,
My computer don’t throw.
I know like water from Providence Spring,
One day soon new words will flow.

Not hard to get writier's block when like you, you are writing new stuff all the time. Some of us are well-written but poorly published into the past - so we got a file!
good luck

A break you may need
to continue to succeed
as your heart still grows
your words will know!
Come my muse
sit with me
share what you can
my pen is in hand!
Warmed in the Spirit, Warrior Purple Lady She

This poem ROCKsss!

A good ole karate chop to this disk that does flop.. don't fix it, but you sure feel better...
Once the Water, Walter was even blocked.
Your words will spring forth and fifth. Sure.

Walt, we all go through this..You need a hot woman, a margarita, and a sandy beach..now I bet you could get inspired!
Heads up, cheer up, look up, those words will come down raining and you will be writing with furious thunder..
Much peace, love, and light my friend,

I happen to think you are still doing a wonderful job as many of us seem to be going through this right now, maybe it's the weather. I have written twenty-three new poems in the past while that I feel are not good enough to share on the den. Thank you Walt for letting me know I am not alone.

My brother Walt has a block of constipated words and is in need of a literary laxative to start going.
Anyone????

The second part of Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motions: Inertia--
"...an object in uniform motion tends to remain in motion."

Keep your pen moving, Walt. Remember that writing is not so much typing the words as it is reworking and revising and editing what you have produced. When you keep your pen in uniform motion, soon the words you have waited for will appear as if by magic. Yes, "One day soon new words will flow."

You see, Walt, even in your hour of supposed writer's block you have produced words of value to share with us. Writer's block is not a true reality; it is simply a resting time in your production line.

Inspiration and creativity is not measured by the clock. Keep your pen in motion!

The beauty of poetry is that even when we hit a dry spill we never have to look to far for inspiration.

Sometimes we all could use a bit of a reprieve from the gushing of words that won't stop. Maybe this is your time to re-charge in preparation for something big! Enjoyed your poem!

Obviously, your "spring" is still flowing, maybe not with what you'd like, but better to write than not.

Walt, this is such a great, stimulating analogy. Leave it to you, to come up with just the right verbiage to relate. I am struggling with attempts to write, relate and feel good about it. This has been a long lull for me. I write, throw away and start over again and again. The Muses have deserted me. The agony is depressing. Jon Michal Willey
