Home Poems I can't write

I can't write

I'm sure you have noticed the lack of, well, anything here as of late. Especially in terms of anything creative. So I decided to force myself to write a poem and this is what I came up with. It's not my usual style. More like a rap than anything. But it seems to convey my state of mind. I think.

It seems unfinished so may I will finish it one day; hopefully soon.

Once more

I explore

the cliché of

squeezing blood from a stone

or words from

a pen

ideas from the

abyss that is

my mind.

Within and without

I know

I have the ability

the talent

the words

but lack

the motivation

the inspiration

to create

the fascination

needed to feed

the writer’s desire to be

just to be.

So I spurt words in a manner

that you may not comprehend

but may pretend

to spare me the

humiliation

trepidation

caused by these words which are merely

my procrastination.

That's pretty brilliant for something you forced yourself to do. I hope you find it in yourself to continue writing as I'd love to see your (FINISHED) book one day. Hint hint.
