Squeezed Out Eventually (Another Take)
A poem's sometimes like a bunged-up gut
when constipation's gripped it like a vice.
The situation's thick and grim, not nice,
the door of our creative arsehole shut,
the poem jammed inside our mental butt.
We try the ways we know to make it move:
a walk – the writer’s prunes – does not improve
our plight, the poem doesn't budge a bit
and even if it did it would be shit.
We're not tonight in that poetic groove.

That's when ya gotta go for a walk and work it through with gravity and pelvic action.
Poetry as literary deuce: an apt metaphor so much of the time, but you might not want to flush this one:)

Dear AJ,
Well, this is one way of looking at writers block. 😂
It seems you may have loosed the grip on this backup with this poem. I enjoyed your perspective. I hope things will start to flow more smoothly. 😉
