To Write Poems Of Nothing...

To write poems of nothing

not an easy task undertaken...

possibly harder then poems of something

and nearly impossible

when comparing to classics,

To stare at your curser,

the easiest way

watch it blinking

blink,blink,mocking

and driving home

the fact that

your writers blocks

hit you again.

It can't be forced

with errant typing

or laid aside

to rust with no practice

like a bike thats outgrown.

So you look to objects

laid around you

to compose the masterpiece

that is

your pink lampshade

or baseball caps

thought long forgotten.

But in the process

what you really write

is the story of a moment

you'll one day look at

as the better times

when writers block

was your one and only worry.

And in remembrance of these moments

as the memories arise

it's impossible to

not write but of something.

And the quest continues...
