"Writer’s Block" A pencil skitters across the cluttered desk Teeth marks dot the soft wood Tense sighs send papers tumbling away Along with thoughts leaving the brain Blood heats up, head pounds Teeth grit, eyes shut Hands curl into fists Blankness weighs the mind down like an invisible hand Hopelessness, anger, despair Suddenly A light bulb shines Illuminating dark corners of the mind Cleaning off cobwebs Sighs turn to gasps of promise The pencil is retrieved The papers obediently return Thoughts, ideas, structures all pour out And coalesce
