The Block

When you can’t write anything good

And all your concentration is gone

Then you start worrying about

Why your latest submission is

Taking 18 hours to be accepted

*

When you sit down to write

And all you can do is stare off

Into the distance and think of

All the bills you owe or want to owe

Wondering if you can afford the jet ski

*

Just take a break and go for a walk

Around your neighborhood or

If you lucky enough to have a

Hiking trail close by, then go to

The woods. Just explore.

*

Take a second to enjoy the view

Watch the sunrise or the sunset

Search for shapes in the fluffy clouds

Stay up late to look at the constellations

Or, if you are lucky, watch out for comets.

*

There is so much more that you can do

When you need to kickstart the genius of

Your writing. So don’t let your art suffer

There is nothing wrong with taking a break

Plus, you never know what may inspire you along the way.
