Ticking Of The Clock
Bet all poets can relate to this ?
He was going to write a great poem
probably the best he’d ever done,
but when he sat down at his desk
the inspiration just wouldn’t come.
No matter how hard he tried
to get ideas down on the page,
nothing worth writing about arrived
leaving him on the verge of rage.
Then an eureka moment hit him
while listening to the ticking of the clock,
he’d write a poem on the frustration
of the dreaded writers block.
He ended up with five verses
about a poets worst nightmare,
when you want to pen a masterpiece
but end up pulling out your hair.
So the moral to this story has to be
that writers block isn’t so bad after all,
as you can use it as your subject
instead of staring at a bloody wall !

Ah, very insightful well done.
Glad you like it Pronto. I read once that writers block doesn’t exist, its just the writer/poet being lazy ? Not sure about that some days nothing turns up, bit like buses though, one will arrive eventually ! Cheers. Kevin.
Well done, been through it once or twice myself It will stop one day. Be lucky, Peter.
Thanks Peter much appreciated. Having writers block only once or twice isn’t too bad, some writers have it regularly I hear. That’s why its good to keep hold of your archive, as you can dip in to it and use old poems etc ? You be lucky also. Kevin.
