There are days when I don’t write. Some days I need a rest. Some days my mind is empty. I always feel I am not good enough even though people continually tell me I am.

So I challenged myself to write a villanelle about not writing.

This is to give me a break from putting together my first book of poetry which I uploaded to Amazon and then pulled because I decided it was only adequate but will probably be on sale by the time this is published.

How twisted is my tiny mind?

Some Days I Just Cannot Write A Word

My Mind Is Empty, An Unfilled Space

If I Do Not Write, I Won’t Be Heard

This Feeling I Know Is So Absurd

I Feel As Though I Am Losing The Race

Ideas Sometimes Need To Be Stirred

Or I Think I’ll Sink Without A Trace

If I Do Not Write, I Won’t Be Heard

Writing About Not Writing, Oh Merde

My Mind on Autopilot Freebase

My Pen Does Leak Tales, I’m Undeterred

Creativity Ain’t Lost In Space

If I Do Not Write, I Won’t Be Heard

These Are Just Words So Slightly Deferred

Yeah That is Just Me Stating My Case

Some Days I Just Cannot Write A Word

If I Do Not Write, I Won’t Be Heard
