Poetic Blues
Many a time
Writing a rhyme
Now I can't string
A damn bleedin' line
Emptying rooms
Chin hitting floor
Whining and grinding
Staring at walls
A dry thirsty mouth
Numb tingling lips
Body, head shaking
Cold fingertips
Words have dried up
Oh what to do?
Needing some love
Please help me though

Author's Note
A prompt I received on the subject of writer's block, I guess a few us have been there one time or another.

The dreaded writer's block, I think we all have been there.
In March this year I returned to the deep, after a 5,5 years writer's block.
And yes: 5,5 fucking years. Great piece, Pete.

just keep writing dearest Pete no matter what even if you think it sucks or you only have one line you'll find after a few one liners you can tie them together into what I call a Frankenstein try it works 😊

I just tend to accept writer's block will happen from time to time now because I have the confidence it won't be forever. That urge always comes back, often when you least expect it. Eventually something always triggers it back into action. I had a near 10 year writing drought between 1995-2005 & even then, didn't start writing properly again until 2011. I haven't looked back since, however. I don't even have a reason or know why I started writing again. I just did. I call my post 2011 writing, my mature period. 🤣

Knocks me on my bum more often than I'd like. Other times the muse will not shut up. Feast or famine...you nailed it here

It unfortunately happens to us all, Pete. Still think this is a great write, in my opinion that is. All you can do is work through it, and that's not always fun. Appreciate you.

Just sitting at the stop light, no worries, it doesn't last forever. 😊 Writers block sucks, however your ink does not! Hope the wall is lifted soon!
