Barren Land Poem by Roshan Sabapathy

Barren Land



The land is dry and barren
Rain and life are too distant
Yet I squeeze the sand in false expectation
For creative thoughts or seeds of fruition

Ideas are poured into the sand
In hopes of some fertilization
But it quickly soaks into the land
Leaving me with no creation

With a hope that the land will yield again
I water and seed and try in vain
To get an idea or a creation
From my muddled head

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This was when I lived in a desert like town called Mount Isa. I had a creativity block. I felt that I was losing my edge in being creative because I had not practiced being creative for a long time. well, I guess I was wrong.
