Lying awake in bed, feeling ready to write
Morning light feeling much too bright
Searching in my head for ideas to write about
Will today’s words offer and deliver much clout?
Sitting, thinking, and sitting . . . nothing!
Why can’t my mind create something?
Perhaps more coffee will warm up my mind
Hoping that possible ideas may soon be mine
Do all writers usually feel this way?
With little or nothing to really say
Hunger offers quick, necessary break
Nutritious breakfast, now I will make
Finished eating and returning to my writing table
Satisfied appetite doesn’t make me anymore able
Struggling through another writer’s block
Tired eyes continue watching the ticking clock
Wow! This short poem I now create
Finally, fulfilling my writer’s fate

Love how writing about writers block ended it as well. Your examples of writers block while dancing around it were on point for me. I always say if I reach one person , I’m happy, yet truth is , would love to reach more. I guess that’s my writers flaw. To be scared I put my all in the writing and it goes unread. I had writers block several times this year, feels like I’m finally coming away from it. Happy writing trails to you!

Debbie, I appreciate your own journey with writing. I have been blessed with an appetite to craft poetry and stories. The most important reason I write is for myself. The adventure has taken me to many places with my writing and the people whom I have met. Happy trails to you along this writing adventure.

Love this poem!!! It just goes to show that when we begin to write, we discover we do have something to say. Starting is sometimes the hardest part… Once we begin, our thoughts begin to flow and it is as if a whole universe of ideas open up to us. (I love your poems!)

Writer’s block can be such a nuisance! It sometimes seems like it will never end. I love your poem about it, and that it ends on a favorable note.🙂

Susan, I appreciate your response. I must admit that my writing adventure doesn’t end up with too much “writer’s block.” Now if I tried writing a book, I might have a whole different perspective. Blessings to you. Merry Christmas!

Karla, I appreciate your kind words. Most times, my type of writing (poetry and short stories) tends to insulate me from the fury of “writer’s block.” I admire anyone (such as yourself) who takes on writing a book. Blessings to you. Merry Christmas!

You’re welcome, Richard! I understand about the short writings and poetry. If I keep mine around 400-500 words it seems easier in my “furies”! I get it! Blessings to you all and Merry Christmas to you all!
