A Time to Write and a Time to Not

LarrWayne Po

There is a time to write
And a time to not.
How did we get lured?
We are in the plot.
It is time again to write,
We thought,
But where is the rhyme?
The mind has stalled
With no place to hide.

How do we escape;
We are cornered in?
Our lips, we can open,
Yet nothing comes out,
But warmed chilled air
And who cares?
In despair, we strain
To be clever again,
Still stunned
By the challenges
That just dropped in
And left us
In a strange place.

We must face tomorrow,
If we get past this day.
Will there be another surprise,
And yet another time,
When we think we are wise?

Are not moans and groans,
Teachers of the soul,
When the thaw we wait for
Is hopefully near?
Frozen jaws resists a smile,
But patience,
It will reappear.

We are still here,
Waiting in real time,
Because we were placed
At the back of the line.
Cheers.

    Wow! Terrific. And then, after the writer's block is gone and we write something, we may get "writer's remorse"!

    I don't write poems; so it becomes a bit easier! You do have enough of passion LarrWayne, so writing should just flow naturally! siva

    I have so been there way too many times my friend but you seemed to smash the writers block by writing about the same. Clever work.

    Those "writer's block" moments haunt us all, but in my experience the fewer the moments the longer we publish. My problem is finding time to write everything that I would like to publish. Maybe getting faster is the answer to that! rcj
