Writers Block

OK I think we've all suffered from it at one time or another

Writers Block

What isit?, the mind does boggle,
As many keys I franticly toggle,
A meaning please for phrases rare,
Can I pluck one from the air?
Pundits ponder on the phrases.
Thoughts exchanged it goes for ages,
All must admit it has us baffled,
Why not now then call it waffle,
At the pages I blankly stare
Nothing is the end result just there,
My thinking power has come to a halt.
Inspiration is what I want,
Fresh Ideas , or revelations,
Just at present I haven’t a notion
I can’t find a rhyme to go with ocean,
Inspiration, persperation call it what you like,
I just need to find something more to write.

JW 7/7/03

John, another one I like here and oh yes I have felt it too, I think I wrote on or two diddys on this same subject, one maybe called "Drained Again or emptyness, but I have this memory problem, its called "long term drug use, equals, short term memory loss, or is it the other way around, I never can recall, for some odd reason, LOL"
Oh and a word to rhyme with ocean might be motion...Peace, ED & Rufuz

John, I too suffer from it, and I didn't have much thinking power to start with. Need all my faculties to make it. Bill Murray

"...At the pages I blankly stare

Don't we, though? We stare 'n stare until our eyes are on fire. You've captured the frustration of dead whitespace perfectly...kudos!

Well said John. I don't know of anything more frustating than the nothingness of writer's block, it is really quite painful. May creativity continue to come your way! ~Z~
