I Live on Writer’s Block Virginia Salter I live on writer’s block where a zillion words reside standing at attention stuck in ebbing tide many people passing bringing theme and point of view and all I seem able is thinking lone of you animals go running prancing or humming winging on the winds of time through the tree limbs strumming yet, the words stand, lifeless waiting for compose lingering in the folds of life in authors do repose all for opportunity do the words await come along and reach out open wide the gate invite the words to marching align them with your will contriving messages of fervor cease their being still © October 12, 2000 |

Thank you all for reading and commenting. Glad you enjoyed. One thing I was trying to do with this, and I don't think it came through, is to also be describing a place...a block where writers dwell...a place where all those things writers need also exist, just waiting to be used. So far I've not had writer's block, though many would probably say I actually did/do, have because what I've written is purely inane, unnecessary, senseless. But what the hey...I love to play with words, so putting them down...isn't that writing? Thanks again, all!! Oh, rosepetals...my first posts are only as far back as #10, in case you want to go there. There's one on page 3 of #11, too. That either no one read or no one had desire to comment upon. Cest la vie. V. |

Good work... it can be a great block or an exasperating block, depending on own's interpretation  laughs Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |
