Watch me pour out dry
Delivering these endless
Relentless dull lines
A small haiku as a testimony for how writing can be dull sometimes, or our creative gears dry and unoiled.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Loved your poem!
Short yet relatable...inspiration always takes time to come by, but when it does it's often rewarding!
Well, this is certainly relatable. I never run out of things to write, but sometimes the ideas just don't take the right shape. That must be why I have so many in my drafts folder. Great job with this haiku, Belle!
So true. Sometimes the magic doesn't flow. Sometimes...though...you need to write dull...cleanse the system and then magic happens again. Something like that - I'm just a jerk with moderate English skills. It sounded clever in my head. Loved your haiku, either way, Belle!
