Leaping Over Writer's Block
Well here you sit with writer's bloc
Your brain's a mess and your pen won't talk
Your keyboard waits and laughs quiet silently
You'd like to take and throw it violently
Yesterday the thoughts were flowing
Paragraphs and word count growing
So what happened when you went to sleep
Did demons into your mind creep?
Did Shakespeare have these Moments Too
Did Hemingway say "hell I'm through?"
Did tthe Bronte sisters say let's just go shopping and
Did Steinbeck say 'let's all go bar hopping?
So how does a poor soul like me then cope?
I focus on one happy thought to use'
And then put o my confy shoes- because if my feet can't breathe ,
There would be no muse.
Then I take that concept and try to find all rhymes
To which it might connect at least a couple times
Then I dream of childhood days my buddy Dr. Seuss
And start weaving words in patterns and some completely loose
Before I know it words are springing from my mind
You'd be surprised about the ideas that I find
The train of words that rumbles through seems to go on and on
The writer's block that once was there is now completely gone
The product that i soon have is a semi-poem draft
But as we all know the first one is the hardest of our craft.
This method rarely fails me so I'm passing it to you
Have fun with "red fish, blue fish, the grinch, green eggs and ham
They'll get you out of nearly every language jam
This was my helpful hint to bring peace and joy to mind
If you discover others tell me what you find.
