Writer's Block.

9 Replies

It's said most writers can with ease,

Write something which they think may please.

But that is really poppycock,

Because of dreaded 'writer's block'.

This is when they've nowt to say,

Which means they're going to get no pay.

But Charles Bukowski had it right.

When you come across this plight.

I'll tell you what, but do not mock

Just write about your 'writer's block'!

(Don't Google Charles Bukowski if easily offended :-o)

Oh, now I want chocolate! I was quite happy with my cup of tea until I saw your choc 😟.......and then you mention a name 'with a warning'! Are you deliberately putting temptation in our way (and on a Sunday too) cos if you are - it's working!😀 Love your poem, Bukowski?.......to me, it's more like plain speaking than poetry but then what do I know!

I think the writer's block is good for you Don because, this is IMO, your best poem yet. It all scans and rhymes perfectly and you've paced it just right.

Did you like my little skips then? ;-)
