Writer's Block Games

Karyn Indursky

 

Thou writer's block is like thee brown lodge

where thee words are playing hide and go seek

giggling like children as we try to dodge 

being put on thou white mountain peak

 

where words look around and peek-a-boo starts

to tease our muse til we cave into write

playful riddles to past our time with art

our poem becomes saved by the silver knight

 

words are jousting with the jester's humor

scurrying diction all over the place    

with chuckles erupting like consumers

buying practical jokes while making messes

 

so long as our sun wakes us up at dawn

writer's block will take a hike and be gone

hi

hi. i don't get paid to write, but every writer has gotten writer's block at some time or another. words get jammed, papers get cluttered, pens run dry, keyboards go clickity, clack, and when it's all done you toss it out because it's not up to your standards. then you give it ago again and you think about what you liked about it and what lead you to throwing it out, you comprise and focus on what you like until you end up an poem that reflects you and after one comes out complete the poems you had on your mind that was being ignored comes to your fingertips and you end up with a few poems. i know i'm not the only one who experiences this, i talk with and am friends with other authors/poets/poetess' and it's nice to feel normal.
