Writer’s Block

What should I write about?
Oh I know I’ll write about love,
Love, love is like a blooming rose in a garden of weeds,
It holds the pose of a short sweet poem that flows,
Flows like a golden waterfall laced with streaks of passion,
Dripping down into the river of love?
Ok, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea,
I was getting a tad sick from all the gushy, mushy, adorable ducky stuff,
Oh I know I’ll write about the revolution,
THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED,
My people we have got to rise up,
Rebel against the man and his half-assed American dream ideas,
Let’s live the dream of Dr. King,
Come with me to break the barriers of…ummm
Ok, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea,
Damn, it’s like the idea comes and is flowin then it stops,
Writer’s block is like a pain in my ass,
I bet if I think a little harder I can produce the best poem ever,
Oh I know I’ll write about nature,
Nature is the most beautiful thing in the world,
Its mother nurture’s the plants from her bosom,
She tends to the animals like Noah did on his ark,
Resting in the grass she looks about her as if to say…
Ok, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea,
Nature’s not really my thing I guess,
I almost was on to something though,
I can’t understand how a thought could leave so quickly,
How an idea can only be a couple lines long,
I’ll try one last time,
Oh I know I’ll write about depression,
Nights are cold; days are dark and lonely,
My parents died in the same week I failed my classes and was dumped by my girlfriend,
My only comfort now comes from the corner in the closet,
A space where I learn to stay in longer and longer each day,
I plug up the crack between the door and floor,
Preparing for suicide by learning to go longer without oxygen,
Ok, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea,
*sigh* it’s just not working for me,
I wish I could just write one solid poem about something,
Oh, well better luck next time…

Gods know we've all been in that position before, but you are the first one I've ever seen to make Writer's Block tangible like this. :clap: Congratulations! I swear, even when you're feeling empty, you come up with good stuff.

Excellent Imagery, btw.

Dear King ,

What I LOVE about this is the obvious. I love the title as I found it ironic actually. The concept is well known, as we go through this thing coined as being..."Writer's Block".

In the last line you say..." I wish I could just write one solid poem about something", and when reading the poem, you did. Even in chaos there are linear lines.....and here you in fact did write one solid poem about several topics such as Love, the Revolution, Nature, and Depression. I thought this was brilliant, and beautifully executed, and the content for each subject scribed about was heartfelt, some was humorous, poignant, and real. True craftsmanship here my dearest King, and I loved it!!!!

Thank You everybody for the comments I wrote this poem in a mindstate that made me sorta question myself and for that reason I felt that it was rough and the fact that I have yet to look back over it for myself....but thank you for the comments it insures that my poem wasn't that bad....

KingAce, this was an excellent read, I go through that all the time. I start 2 - 6 lines in a poem then the idea ends, it really does suck sometimes though. Esspecially when it feels like the poem was going somewhere. I'm sure most of us can relate. Good work though, I loved the read.
