    Poem Commentary

    Wrote this a few years ago while writing a short story and found myself having trouble putting my thoughts into 'just the right words' I was looking for. The irony of it was my writer's block gave birth to this poem.

    Writers Block

    Stagnant; stale; staccato stabs,
    A mental mush slush.
    Unseen phantom, my words it grabs.
    The dulling rushed hush.
    A wall, absurd.
    I think, "That's not the word."

    Blocking; restraining; dampening - Frustration!
    A ravage event.
    Locking; refraining; hampering - Anticreation!
    The literature savage prevent.

    Nice write bro. As previously stated, I have been there before myself Haha. In reading this, the way you worded it and the tone set, it's like you captured a moment in time that was running through your mind as you tried to write. Just a fleeting moment picked from the air and jotted down just as quick as it passed. Great write. Reminds me of John Lennon's 'I'm So Tired'. ~Spence, P.S. i'm Spence on here haha, Later

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
