you get desperate
     you press
you smash them together
     to make sense

damned words

sometimes you are Master!
at your thought ---

    they leap
         and twirl
       explode
            in tendrils
             of fertile green
        each creating a
             new garden

but then
sometimes
you pile them up
hoping their weight
will meld them

to the sky you work

you step back
and see
an ugly black wall
made of
writer's
block

I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles

sometimes it takes a pick-axe--just to quarry the stone--

and even tho I picked up diligent fury in the tone of this? It still reads like warm waves.

Well, That was temporary. You forgot to mention notebooks filled with the unmentionable. Oh! If it's unmentionable...then....if you...mention it....it becomes...uh.....mentionable?...No, that can't....ah, what was I saying?
Oh yeah, writers block. Huh?

Liked the way it ended(?) for ya.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Brian, it seems that writer's block has been stormed through with this one. I like the analogies in this. Very nice!

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

Many a writer has come to this and stopped and yet many climb over or burst through this 'barrier'. Keep the ideas flowing...and there is always so much out there from failings to successes, parts of the body to the rooms of the house, movies you see, dances you've tried, stories you read as a kid that kept you up late at night, or maybe it was a horror flick..whatever there IS so much...all you have to do is keeping tapping
those sources!

Glad this was bumped Brian. It's great stuff. We should all write such poetry in the midst of writers block.

When you get writer's block,
it's not woe is me, brian.
It's woe is we.
