Writer's Block


To write more would be a lie,

I cannot squeeze out

One more line,


To copy would disrespect

Those who lost,

Their minds for a piece of text


I've tried filling my own head

With anything,

That would help the pen -


To make the ink flow faster

But it won’t,

For I am not the master


Though I hold the tool,

Hammer to anvil,

I’m merely a fool


Crossing eyes and dotting t’s

While watching words

Fall wherever they please,
