It happens to us all,
When our words start to stall.
It is that time for me,
Its writers block, oh gee.
I don't have a game plan,
I'll be back when I can.

Come on, dear Jerry, while waiting for the magic to happen again, you can still share with us some poems you have written before ...

Your muse maybe has spoiled you somehow as you are a very prolific writer, but a little pause doesn't mean writer's block I believe.

Love,
Margherita

I guess you are right, and maybe I'll post some oldies. Thanks, Margherita, for the pep talk. I think I needed it.

You could always try reading "Faust". *chuckle*

Beware of those bargaining devils, though...

You'll be fine, lovie.

Thanks ], Karen, now if I could just get these damn shingles under control, been fighting them going on three months, I think that is part of the problem.

Yep, JL, you are right.

Oh dear Jerry...

you have my complete and total sympathy. (There's been a quiet epidemic of Zoster going on)

If you can find the vaccine? It worked for me--but the anti-virals made me feel like my brain was on fire.

sigh

I'll keep you in my thoughts, m'friend.

I've had writer's block for weeks. Just starting to write a little. Luckily, new experiences or memories that creep in will once again provide us with new material.

Thanks Ida. I hardly ever get writers block, and when I o it usually doesn't last too long. Hopefully that will be the case today . . .

It's an awful feeling but even muses need a vacation now and then. Once a poet, always a poet.

Yep, I'm not worried about it. I think what has brought mine on, Marcia, is I've been working pretty hard on the new novel. Kinda sucked al the creativity out of me.
