Mind Block

by Lori   Jan 9, 2010


Hands unable to write
My rhymes cannot be
No magic left in this pen
Thoughts too lost to see

Staring at this paper
I know I've lost my touch
I wrote in spite of you
But now you're gone and such

A mind block has occurred
No love left in this pen
Maybe I'll write a love poem
If I ever find love again

I'll sit at this table
Staring into space
Crashing down inside
Not moving is its pace

So I'll leave this pen to sit
Leaving this chair pushed in
Waiting for me write
Waiting for words to begin

    Another good piece. I liked your subject matter. I'm seeing more and more people write about the process and trials of writing. It's interesting. I felt the third stanza was the strongest. I liked the idea of a loss of love in a pen, and writing a love poem, if you should love again. Very nice. I also liked the repetition of the use of 'pen'.

    Ahh, never really read much poems about writers block, this is very good.

    i give it a 4/5 because...

    1... the title was short and simple, it didnt give too much away about the poem so you had to come and read the poem to find out more.

    2. it is simliar style and layout to my poetry , and i like this style, i think its easy to read.

    3. you got the flow really good, as well as the rhyming. and it was a quick poem, no slurring or dragging lines.

    4. you punctuated the poem which makes it an easier read and shows you took that bit of time where other writers often dont.

    only suggestion for improvement would be to fix the first stanza 4th line...

    "Thoughts to lost to see"
    the first to should be too... as in too much.

    i related to this one, and i liked it very much, hope to read more, well done xxx

    Thoughts to lost to see

    ^^Maybe you meant 'Thoughts too lost to see'???

    Overall, beautiful write. I believe that your choice to keep the vocabulary simple and sweet, made this piece even better. I say this a lot in my comments, but sometimes writers get caught up in the big, fancy words in order to make a poem sound wonderful; when the truth is that simplicity is wonderful all in itself. So I must say Loni, that this is an amazing poem from you. I wouldnt change a thing.

    Keep writing.

    5/5
