Writer's Block

I sit, staring hopelessly

Willing the words to flow

Pen poised stagnantly in my hand

Refusing to write, to go



Ideas fly through my brain

But the connection, lost to my hand

Foot is shaking violently

I need to stretch, I stand



Reach in my pocket, light a smoke

Maybe to clear my mind

Walking now in circles

The beginning I cannot find



I lay my hands across my face

And slowly start to pray

Nothing new comes to me

My pen-hand starts to stray



A nap, a meal, and then a week

Slowly pass me by

And still the words are vanished

Now I start to cry



Writer’s block has taken me

Beaten me to a grain

Check back next week amigos

The words may have come again
