PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Staring at this snow white screen

Attempting to harness the vivid scenes

That invisible scroll in my mind’s eye

The images flashing quickly by

I type a line of prose and then

Grimacing, I erase and begin again.



Let it go.



How do I write what’s on my mind

My head is bursting with thoughts confined

Jumbled visions, incoherent words

Confusion, chaos, dreams unheard

Still I endeavor to type once more

Yet the screen remains blank as it was before.



Let it go.



I walk away and pace around

My fingers itching, I sit back down

Tap, tap, tapping, I start anew

The wall goes up again, right on cue

How to continue I do not know

Accepting defeat, I let it go.
