Writing about NOT WRITING ...

Writer's Block

by Tom Horonzy


I sit at my desk with the task
of searching thru everything
and not finding anything
to be rather frustrating.

Oh, let me explain.
To claim myself a writer
nothing would be nicer
then to have myself typing.

Yet, with no subject present
I'm a fully stuffed pheasant,
well-done and presented
as a tasty meal - uncooked.

This is frustratingly sad,
which makes me mad,
not finding any doodads
as a hen on an unfertilized egg.

Somewhere out there,
knowing not where
is ink to be splattered
on a blank sheet of paper.

I feel like Pooh-Bear
beating on bear hair
yearning to get a share
of sweet-tasting honey.

So hereon, I'll try to be funny
hoping to make a little money
making me all the more sunny
instead of brooding unfulfilled
on a most depressing day.

Writers Block writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem about writers block- an occasion, the feeling, or maybe an experienced breakthrough! Poems can be serious or humorous. Whatever your pens desire.


The collage is my own photographs and indicates a willingness to write, but even after burning the midnight oil the results are ... nothing to see.

Addendum: My wife and another writer suggested then in verse two should be than, but word correct on FS and Grammarly, which is my proofreader, indicate differently, so it remains then.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
