Impatient are
these fingertips,
poised on these keys,
a practice in
futility.
A storm rages
in my mind,
as I seek comfort
trying desperately
to fill these lines.
Can’t stop these pictures
in my mind,
can’t make these thoughts
come to life;
tormented, I stand
idly by.
Feeling
loss, confusion,
anger, remorse.
Nothing feels right
when words
just won’t come.

A struggle to write? I liked this.
Thanks. 🙂 Funny how I could write about not writing, but I can’t write about anything I actually WANT to write about. Ugh!
HAHHAHAHHA… that is ok, at least you wrote not writing well!
A great piece about not writing. We all feel like that at times. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Maria! I love that I know your name now. 😉
You captured this perfectly. Very well done!!!
Thanks Boomie, glad you liked. 🙂
We’ve all hit that wall before. Sometimes the best thing we can do is exactly what you’ve done. Force ourselves to write something. Your “nothing” turned out to be pretty cool!
True true! I wish I could write what I WANT to write about, but I guess this will do for now, lol. 😉
It’s a start. You’ll get there.
Word.
🙂
Powerfully expressed
Thank you! 🙂
I have commentor’s block. I cannot respond.
And I cannot blame you. The block is an evil little curse.
Oh dear, bloggers block. Fear not, I hear it’s reasonably easy to get over and, well, look at you, you wrote something and posted it, therefore, bloggers block gone!
Blogger’s block sucks! I’ve had it for a while… I can write some stuff but not what I want to write, so I still feel blocked. Blah!
I love writing about not being able to think of something to write. It’s very Seinfeld 😉
Haha, I guess it is! Better than writing nothing, I guess… Or is it… 😉
Writers block is a beast.. cool poem on that fiend 🙂
Writer’s block is so evil! 😉
Ironic isn’t it, when writer’s block can still give us inspiration? I can relate so well to that first paragraph. Chin up! I have faith the block will be gone sooner than you think. 😉
I know, super weird! Seems odd but it was easier writing this than to write what I actually wanted to write. Stupid son of a writer’s block. 😉
Loved it! How about if you make a bullet list of “things” and when you go to write, you have some ideas down? I do this sometimes, and when I start a new blog, it helps.
Thanks! I do that sometimes actually, starting recently. Still hasn’t fixed this block thing but it helps a little! 😉
With you sister!
Darn block! 😉
