Writer's Block

What is this strange constipation? From a man who conducts litigation? I cannot speak write or think, my affect is simply to blink. Like opposed magnets my pen deflects off paper. My mind sends me IOU's for later. I am impeded like a stroke. No help from a joint toke. La dee da, my friends joke, 'where now is that auteur'? Not that their taunts make it worse. I can't produce one line of verse, nor upon any topic can my mind focus. The advice on writer's block is all hokus-pokus. So I must resign. No muse this time. but other times I will shine, and then be closer to my prime.

For the record I don't get writers block because in part I write poems. I just wait till I have an interesting turn of words or a little piece of rhyme and I'm off. It is very rare for me to spend more than half an hour on a poem. Some weeks I write 3 some none.

Thank you. I'd appreciate your comments on my other poems, as for me comments are better than cash.

I hate it when my pen gets constipated too - as a writer of 'poop poems' that first stanza amused me. Looks like your muse is back a no longer stuck on the throne lol:-) hugs Jan xx

If there can't be poopy humor it is not meritorious work. I'd love for you to share more comments on my other poems. Comments are better than cash.
