Writer's Block; the Bain of all writers, if you haven'e experienced it; stick around; you will at one point in your life as a writer. When my turn came, it blew my mind; Imagine; Me; without words!!!! First time in my life, (Just ask anyone who knows me.) I was frustrated and sat down trying to figure out what caused the inability to express myself with Rhyme. What to do to cure it? My solution; attempt to write a poem; good or bad. The result is this little poem below. **** **************************************************** “Writer’s Block” In the evening when all is dim, All I feel is weariness in my limbs. Head on the desk; pen in my hand; Trying to conquer a thing I do not understand. When I try to write, my finger’s ache, My mind reels, and my inside’s quake. This situation is such a shock, The terrible thing called “Writer’s Block.” When was the last time, I came up with a rhyme? Sitting up all through the night; Unable to find any words to write. Since you left I’ve been so blue, Could this be because of you? Or has some other thing; Made my thought’s take wing? Tomorrow like every other day; I’ll walk through the park; Stay there until long after dark. Walk the water’s edge; throw some rocks; And try to cure this thing called “Writer’s Block.” Steven VanScoy 18/October/1988 Independence, Missouri Copyright©2003 "Poetry&Pasion" |

I can't speak for others but I enjoy the "author's commentary" paragraph preceding the poem -- it's a refreshing extra, kind of like a DVD... As for the poem, sounds to me like you knocked your block off...  -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

You did exactly what is prescibed for every poet with the 'block' syndrome!! That is to just sit down and write, doesn't matter what, just do it...kinda like kick-starting a bike. Enjoyed this, and boy, could I relate to the frustration...lol...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |
