Excellent A poem about the thought of losing talent Discouraged by Kirsten Shonle Name writing prompt entry Artwork by Cindy Sue Truman at FanArtReview.com

Discouraged I stare at my lap top I have no ambition Since the rejections I have received Cause me to have pause Olden times sure have passed Usually I can write Right now it seems a thing of the past Also, I have killed millions of brain cells Guess writing is no longer for me Enjoyment of the act has long since surpassed Discouraged I sit here and stare at my empty screen Writing Prompt Write an acrostic. Pick a word, any word, and use the letters of that word for the first letter of each line in your poem. See examples here. Author Notes I unfortunately need outside validation and my writing thus far hasn't received any attention. I won awards as a child and now its a thing of the past.
