Urge To Write

 

Mind blocked, 

haven’t a clue.

Nothing to say,

What’ll I do?

 

Urge to write!

Haven’t a thought.

Minutes passing...

zero, zip, naught.

 

Thinking...

Thinking,

mind’s in a whirl,

brain now,

brain’s a-twirl.

 

Words of love…

Nah, not in the mood.

Get up, go!

Go get some food.

 

Back now,

eating’s done

mind’s still blocked

and this ain’t fun.

 

Urge to write!

Haven’t a thought.

Minutes passing...

zero, zip, naught.

 

Tail a-wagging,

snout nudging my knee.

“Outside, Kody?

Maybe… we’ll see."

 

Excited now,

no need to wait,

out the doggy door

waiting at gate.

 

Kody chasing a squirrel,

I'm away from the screen

within my mind nothing,

nothing yet to be seen

 

Breathing the air,

clearing my mind,

nothing there,

nothing I can find.

 

Inside again,

still no thought.

mind searching,

still… zero, zip, naught.

 

Oh, well,

 give up this day,

switch computer for TV

I'll let my mind lay.

 

Maybe later,

maybe, we’ll see

‘cause urge to write!

So later, maybe,

maybe…

we’ll see.

You have a mind for humor, Mark. Another wonderful ditty here, even though it is about writer's block (Ewwwwwww, I hate having that, too).
Hugs to you!

This is a great description of what many days consist of in the mind of a writer. Going through the same thing right now! I'm sure Kody was happy to have you spend some time with him!

I've been here for far too long, so I can completely relate, Mark. I'm sure so many others can also relate. Well done ~ Lizzie

Writers block hits us all every now and then and yea sometimes just writing about it and sharing it helps to spark the creativity of our latent imaginations.

A humorous look at writer's block. Somehow you managed a rather long poem that has a wonderful rhythm to it that is almost a rap. Enjoyed.
