How To Kill A Blank Paper
A blank paper
Is mocking me
It has mocked me for weeks
It dances about my room
And taunts me
So I pick up my pen
But as I reach to slay it
It absconds my ink
And dances again
A blank paper
Is mocking me
It has mocked me for months
It dances about my mind
And jeers at me
So I pick up my pencil
But as I reach to slay it
It escapes my graphite
And dances again
A blank paper
Is laying still
I have given up chasing it
It lies there on my desk
In ennui not unlike mine
I slam my hand on it
I slay it
And its hundred brothers
And it dances no more
Is mocking me
It has mocked me for weeks
It dances about my room
And taunts me
So I pick up my pen
But as I reach to slay it
It absconds my ink
And dances again
A blank paper
Is mocking me
It has mocked me for months
It dances about my mind
And jeers at me
So I pick up my pencil
But as I reach to slay it
It escapes my graphite
And dances again
A blank paper
Is laying still
I have given up chasing it
It lies there on my desk
In ennui not unlike mine
I slam my hand on it
I slay it
And its hundred brothers
And it dances no more

I like the way you have this knack of making poems out of nothing. I like the stubborn attitude you show, i.e: I'm not leaving this room until there is something on this bloody page!
You're so cool, Elle.
You're so cool, Elle.

Thank you! Things start to look up once you learn to use Poet's Block as poem material.
You're cool too, Hydrodgones.
