Writer's Block
I was a soft rolling river
Enjoying my day
Sparkling and twinkling
Relaxing into May
Then I felt it
Subtle at first
Trying to move
It began to hurt
There it was
the reason for my pain
A damn beaver’s dam.
Mission to drive me insane
It blocked my flow
What should I do
I really don’t know
No one to turn to
Mother Nature took pity
On me you see
A bolt of lightning
Hit the dam making debris
I started to move
It was not quite the same
I just needed time for the
Words to flow into my brain.
Dams may get built
As tall as a wall
Just give it time
All walls do fall.

Yes, although frustrating to deal with, writers block eventually subsides when we least expect it.

To me, or at least for me, writers block is a sign that I am empty. There is nothing that needs to be released. I never force my writings. Those of us that write because of this need to expel the madness in our head will never be long without some inspiration. You are right. The wall does eventually fall.

Re. Writer's Block
I’ve had writers block 1 million times particularly when I’m happy. I tend to write mostly when I’m sad, aggravated, hurt or all of the above. I find coming here to Dup and reading from others always peak some type of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Fia
