No. 18: Writer’s Block

Paper, pen, ink
I'm ready to write
But where are those thoughts
I want to preserve on paper

Clean white sheet
Of paper covered in
Doodles as I wait for
Perfect words to fill my mind

Crumple up doodles
Select another clean sheet
Think think about the words
Another sheet covered in squiggly lines

Paper, pen, ink
Eventually come together while
Thoughts and words flow seamlessly
Pen skates effortlessly across the page

I look up
To see crumpled sheets
Scattered about me and then
One page of words written down

It's a start
