Writer's Block

With my hands poised

Over the keys

I sift through thoughts

In my mind

Trying to figure out

What I should write

A poem, a story,

A deep moving post?

A rant, A review

Or something about work?

A cause, A memory

Or just a silly tag?

An observation, An experience

Or something from the mags?

I type some words

But delete them soon

I play with ideas

All afternoon

Nothing makes sense

Nothing sounds good

Not even a review

Of my favourite book

I don't know where to start

Nor how to end

I guess I could attempt

To try and pretend

Until this mind

Is finally unlocked

And I've gotten rid

Of this writer's block
