Poems about Writer's Block
#WritersBlock
Poems about writer's block, when a poet or author struggles to write, sufferers from creative shutdown, or lacks inspiration. Writer's block can be extremely frustrating, but can itself provide the inspiration to write.

MY FEEBLE PEN'S UNCERTAIN, ATTEMPTED RETURN (5:25pm, 10-7-2024; at KOFFI North, Palm Springs, California)
pausing here
this afternoon
with pen
and paper
in hand again
in hopes
of tapping
back into
my innate
creative muse s
too long neglected
too long distracted
ever mysterious
inner realms
to try retuning
back into
channeling
and releasing
whatever spontaneously arisen
free flow purge
of perceptive
conscious
and subconscious
self expression
might
to my surprise
possibly arise

of course you didn’t wait
making up a poem in my head or
wherever one does such a
thing is, I wasn’t looking where I
was going to write it
down the pub
you tut tut and stare at
your watch and I’m thirty five minutes
past late

mongers of the city unfortunately
didn’t know who he was

Hell
Fire and brimstone. Demons and devils. This is what most would imagine hell as.
But hell isn’t below but above.
It surrounds us daily to cloud our minds.
It eclipses the good within, to bring the hate and envy to the surface of our existence.
It influences our lives and have us accepting false idols as truth tellers
It turns boys into men and girls to women before their time.
It corrupts the innocent and turn them to crime just to survive.
This hell is on the surface and it never rest. It makes the weak feel strong with the pull of a...

Falling
I caught myself falling again. Wondering if this depression I feel will forever hold me by the neck.
Squeezing tighter with every breath that it takes. Suffocating me with the thought of failure, that which constantly creeps into my subconscious.
Holding back the tears from slowly falling down my cheek. Keeping me in a half sleep and half awake daze.
Pondering if this life is worth the pain of being bound to this world, when I could end it now, releasing myself to drift away into a haze.

I ain't got a thing to write
Imma just gonna type and whatever
happens, no matter how bad
you're going to get it
My ear, you'll wet it when you
give me a wet willie
You're silly, I am serious, I am real,
I am the real deal
a real big deal, I am prone to veal
never had it, just rhymed
I try to do that time to time
and hope it makes it flow a little better
as I try to change this into a poem
instead of an open letter
Rapping and rhyming and trying
defiant, unreliable diamond
fugazi...

A Little Bird Cheeped While I Was Trying to Type
I don't think you understand what a writing zone is
I don't think you get how hard you being here is
I need to quietly live and give
my every ounce
your every whisper a shout
your every throat cleared
appearance of doubt
I'm an artist fragile, glass,
paper thin
vulnerable to the wind
too enraged to write when I see you engage in your sin,
leave me
I'm wafer thin
I don't think you get how hard you being here is
I need to quietly live and give
my every ounce
your every whisper a shout
your every throat cleared
appearance of doubt
I'm an artist fragile, glass,
paper thin
vulnerable to the wind
too enraged to write when I see you engage in your sin,
leave me
I'm wafer thin

Error
feelings wail inside me
they scream and plea
peeling layers begging
to set them free
but
words baffle me
they dance and flee
leaving my head spinning
to capture them free
they scream and plea
peeling layers begging
to set them free
but
words baffle me
they dance and flee
leaving my head spinning
to capture them free

I CAN WRITE AGAIN!
As if the pen’s silver nib were a bullet
shot backward into the well,
recalling the joy of writing
and the pain of counting 5-7-5,
over and over,
and under
until Haikus spin silk syllables.
Don’t underestimate yourself!
My hand shakes sometimes,
muscle memory,
Parkinson’s poetry,
tenacious texts that tremor,
talent moving left to right,
telling me there’s something left to write.
My pointer kisses my thumb,
a reminder of poetry’s tenderness, ...

Writer’s Block
Writer’s block won’t let me through
However writers block out the noise
And just make do when it’s due
So I’m riding through the block
Just to catch a thought
That just might spark something new
Something that’ll make them say
“Damn that boy a fool”
Smooth, cool, and utterly true
The words from my pen are dipped in the pain
That I constantly try to avoid
Balancing all these issues I’m losing my poise
Fighting to give my best routine
But it seems, the judges won’t play it fair
So it’s gymnast the way I flip shit ...
