Comment from Bill Schott
This senryu, Writer's Block, uses sixteen syllables to get us to recognize that the biggest block to writing is consciousness. We must wake it all up and press on.

Thank you, Bill. It's uncommon, but very rewarding, to receive reviews of old work, and re-read stuff I've all but forgotten. I had to check this one, and I liked it, too. Thanks again. Don .

Thanks, Marilyn. We see eye-to-eye on this uncontroversial topic. Entry needs AYES.

Comment from Nikki-Nicole
You've penned a good one.
I especially like the second line: 'illusory quirk'- The mind is empty.
The last line, 'Wake up, and get to work!' gets the reader's attention.
The image shown supports the poem. The picture demonstrates how a person looks when they've been up all night trying to meet a deadline and still has work to do. The mind is just blank.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your Senryu.
Good luck with your future writing.

Comment from Curly Girly
Writing is all about work. It can't write itself. Your poem makes sense:
Mind over matter,
illusory quirk.
Wake up, and get to work!
Your poem has 16 syllables and meets the criteria. Not only that, it is clever.
Best wishes.

Writer's block is a myth
The wordsmith needs to work
Open his mind and let
The words flow.

This is very well written with a strong vocabulary, making for a very good read.
