Writers Block

Finger pause over now silent keys,  1


The pen slips from your lax fingers. 2


The once imaginative imagination is silenced. 3


Your muse, a once swirling mass of beautiful colors has faded away to a dull gray. 4

 5

No matter how hard you try, nothing comes to you 6

 7

Your mind is emptied 8

 9

You feel restless, and frustrated. 10

 11

You feel abandoned. 12

 13

How could your faithful imagination be so quick to desert? 14

 15

You sigh. 16

 17

Damn you writers block!

    A good poem and acceptable for the contest,although I wanted the person--you to overcoem the writer's block. But, still a good poem.

    beginning: 5, language: 5, plot: 5, ending: 5, dialog: 5, characters: 5.

    So beautiful and then an abrupt end! i like this, it expresses Writer's Block in a majestic-ish way, still adding humor in the end though. Kinda a lil' bit like life. ...I think I'm the only one who got that. Anyway, good job, and good luck!

    Ah. I hate being plagued by the evil writers block! This is something a lot of people can relate to. Writers block should be shot in the face. Unfortunately I am suffering from writers block which is just the cherry on top of the pile of crap. I really enjoyed reading this. It captured the...essence of writers block XD

    Writer's block is like a river that stops moving in the middle of its flow. Love the piece, kudos to you!

    Wow! That's exactly how it feels! especially the frusterating part. I hate writers block to death. It's like you ahve all these ideas clogged up your head and you can seem to get them out on paper....except your wording was obviously deeper so just uh- scractch that.

    Indeed, writer's block does suck. It can put a stop to the most ingenious of plot ideas. Seriously, it should get its own definition under plagues.

    Great descriptions here! Exactly what I've had to do many times. Writer's block completely sucks. It's worst when you're midway through writing something and then completely lose what you were wanting to write. It's awful.

    At least you were able to still write something!
