On this day, I cannot create I cannot write I've drawn a blank and, There is nothing there, But Empty spaces/ Where my words should be Oh, the reality! Of the things that ARE And, What could be? Those which are inscribed Upon the tables of my Heart: Yet, inexpressive of my thoughts To of Which and When, My Writers' Block depart: Seated at my desk, Is where I shall be To create again Relieve me of This Hollowness, This Absence, This Emptiness and Void Dub thee Begetter of Words Persuade my inventiveness To produce, Cultivate: That I may give Birth, To a Poem. |

I think all poets feel like that at least once in their lifes. Lovely poem, I look forward to seeing more of your pieces soon. Welcome to Passions!! May your stay be long and fulfilling!

Each time I begin a poem, I say something similar. We've all had that block at some time or another and pray for it to go away.. we need to keep encouraging each other and give inspiration!  |

I've felt this way. Is the sun shining? Maybe take a walk and see if inspiration finds you, or just wait and something may jump out from inside. It'll pass, it always does. Joy |

Princess, Wonderful first post. Well-written. Every time I finish a poem, I think, how will I come up with another one? Do what I do, go take a shower. It never fails, whenever I'm in the shower, one always hits me in the head. Here's a haiku from this morning's shower: Taking a shower, water hits me in the head; got to write a poem.  From the look of things though, you don't have to worry. ~Gene [This message has been edited by u_gene (edited 04-16-2000).] |
