My Biggest Fear
i could not write today
or viewed with dismay
words composed so cliche
as I looked into my soul and prayed
why has the rhyme forsaken me
leaving me adrift at sea
feeling lost and empty
with nothing to call my own
and no direction home
was the spark just on loan
suffering the agony of the unknown
the impotence of spirit
an erectile disfunction of the soul
my life thrown upon the shoals
losing all control
but the words just wouldn't play
no matter how much I prayed
hoping for a new day
finding where my spirit strayed
maybe hiding in some cafe
my biggest fear delayed
as the rhyme returns to my soul

hello dearest poet I used to fear never writing again
on days like these but it comes to you
when I have those days I write paragraphs
then just save them they usually turn into poems later...
great write ❤️

Hi, I have pages and pages of half finished ideas waiting to be brought to life. I sometimes have to turn me off and rest but sometimes it's hard to turn 'me' on again. I guess what turns it on the best is just this - small snippets of truth shared with fiends. So, thank you for the gift.

hello you know the other thing I do with these is put them together I call them Frankensteins when they are odd paragraphs here and there seemingly that don't go together usually when they are finished they do strangely enough... it's just a cool thing to do...

I have poems of a similar theme written throughout my poetry notebook. Now and then I post one. There will be poems after this one, if it's not too presumptuous or insensitive of me to say.

Since I'm relatively new to writing, the lack of creativity seemed frightening. maybe after I experience this lack a few more times I could handle it w/o feeling dysfunctional. As it was, the lack of creativity led to a lack of creativity. In other words, I was a looping lost loser. Thankfully I found my rhyme and my self esteem has recovered. Thank you for you presumption, very much appreciated.

I don't write every day, but I try to regularly. I have poems about not wanting to write and being worried that the words won't come. I am new to writing, and new to thinking of myself as a poet, but I do now. I suspect that part of it all, is being patient during the dry spells, and knowing when to push. I do find that reading certain books of poetry helps me find the inspiration to write.
