Where Did The Words Go?I struggle to find the words That do not to want to come Only a million feelings swirling inside That I just can’t seem to seize The words have deserted me it seems In these past couple of days Leaving me to figure out where to go With these feelings I cannot place Emotion so strong that I cannot vent I try to find those words that hide Reaching down deep within me Waiting for my pen to move across This white untouched empty page I wait with frustration as nothing comes Where did all my words go That used to come to me so easily Flowing out with wonder and love Or with heartache and pain Filling the pages with my life, with memories With my thoughts and expectations I shake my head as I sit here Looking down at the still empty page Disappointment added to the mix Of emotions I feel inside As I wait and sigh with a wonder Where did all the words go? |

It may be writers block, but then again I know there are some feelings that I simply can't put on paper, for there just are words for them. This poem is so true, sometimes the words just dissappear! Liz |

Don't we all know that feeling.. Writers block... I guess it goes to show that we all need a little inspiration? |

Sometimes the simple words are the ones we seek and you have taken them and put them on top of the poetic shelf of every poets release. We all face this and it does seem as if you have found them all and used them well. Great read. |

Mark - Thank you I'm glad you liked it. I don't know if my dry spell is over though.. I haven't written anything since this on. But it will come in time |

Loved the description of how a writer's block feels like! You described it well, well done. ~Artistic~ "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters" -Henry David Thoreau |

I read a similar poem the other day and I have to say that they have been very impressive for poems struggling with words. Great piece rosepetals |
