Poets and Writers Lament

a poem about "Blocks" and "Frustrations"

By Shanon Angermeyer NormanPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

A poet begins struck by a muse

holding the ink tightly, not loose ----

the lovers enjoy, some offer critique

the poet continues to bleed mystique.

Then some will say that the writer wastes time

sharing stories for free or sharing another free rhyme.

So the poet moves somewhere else perhaps for a bling ---

and then they tell the writer, "It don't mean a thing..."

"Writer's Block" is nonsense, a nice way of saying "Not today!"

and the frustrations of writers will probably never go away.
