Overcoming Writers Block - a Poem
Is There a Difference Between Writers Block and Lack of Motivation?
Also known as motivation
Seems as if I am waiting for something
A feeling or special sensation
Is it a matter of life's big distractions?
Or is it a mental vacation?
A writer must write for a living
It's a joy and a real occupation
What is this muse-thing people speak of?
I need one, I need conversation
My muse ignores market conditions
He cares nothing at all of inflation
A new muse might help my dilemma
And offer that sweet inspiration
If I could just hack out a poem
Shape words in a rhyme-combination
It may open the block that I'm having
I'd be free, words would flow. Jubilation!
