I know every writer suffers from this afflication from time to time...giggle...I've been working on a couple of books I'm writing and don't write poetry (which I LOVE) every day like I used to....this morning when I sat down the blank page was like a raging blizzard I was lost in....found my way out though! Took this picture in Newfoundland in October 2010....awesome province....one of Canada's gems!

Bane of a Poet! Nothing on the page! Only a raging blizzard of white Without a trace of ink! No clever phrasing… Footprints left behind By elusive words Longing to be heard! The blissful oblivion Of the empty canvas Pulls me into a void… Of nothingness! But suddenly… My muse grows restless! Her voice soft, yet firm. She whispers in muted tones! Confused at first… I don’t recognize The language she speaks! Why doesn’t she just give up? Wait a minute! Words spilling onto the page now Like a crowd gathering Eagerly anticipating An important arrival! And the poet has been set free! © Annabel Sheila

Yes, Anna! I can relate and I am sure so many others can as well. I used to stress out about not being able to write something. Now, I just wait for inspiration and I find that all I have to do is write down what has been given to me. Mind you, that is probably why I don't write much. Thank you for sharing this meaningful offering. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I think our muses are related. From out of the whiteout comes frosty the snowman who hits me squarely between the eyes with snowball. Patrick

Oh, Anna, I've been going through the "Bane of a poet/writer" for months now needing major inspiration, like the death of a pet, in order to write anything original. Great words here my northern-eastern friend.
