Poetry | Writer's Block

By Morgan Hixson

February 21, 2019


He sat down at his desk to write

Whatever came to mind

Then looked around for inspiration

He could not seem to find

No ideas merely frustration

At the blinking line

The page remained quite blank and bright

And his teeth began to grind

He had met this curse of writer’s block

Far too many times before

Yet every time it reared its head

Found him shaken to his core

Too often had he gone to bed

His mind an empty store

As if he’d lost the key which fit the lock

To creativity’s door

Ready to give in once again

To misery and despair

A ray of hope made its way

Into the musky air

And now he knew what he was to say

The writer’s block which made life so unfair

Could be written off by his hand

With that he beat his nemesis and at last cleared the air
