Writer's block?

Stop.

 

Focus.

 

The skritter-scratch of pen on paper. 

 

Nothing exists but the page, the line, 

The sentence, the -

Punctuation - 

The word, 

The

Syl-

La-

Ble,

The letters. 

 

Let them flow from the mind

 

D

O

W

N

 

Through the arm to the wrist, 

The deft movement of muscle and tendon, 

The delicate bird-bones in my palm.

My fingertips hardly move at all. 

 

When all else fails

Writing is my succor, 

My pleasure, 

And the lined pages of my notebooks

Are my dearest friends

Who listen to my

Every worry

And joy.
