block(ing)
really original huh?
a poem about writers block.
but I can't help it really
it came to me when nothing else would
usually the words come quickly
spilling from my fingers
bypassing my brain entirely.
the originality continues.
I blame the computer.
A big white block,
and smaller ones on the keyboard
standing in the way of my thoughts
when it is paper,
not a computer,
the words can flow through the pencil
like liquid through a straw
sweetness.
flowing from cup to tongue
from fingers to paper
muted by a smooth glass and crumbling graphite
instead of harshly illuminated by a screen's glare
Don't you just love overused metaphors?
Don't you just love that oh-so-overused topic of writer's block?
That comes to you
blocking .
out .
everything .
else.
