My Writer's Block Poem by Gauri Gupta

My Writer's Block

Rating: 5.0


Pages crumpled and torn
Poems half-written
A jumble of thoughts and ideas
And a worn out pencil

I want to be funny now
And sad the next moment
Or should I be wise and deep
And get stuck the next minute

Oh! When will it pass
My writer's block
Or is it a sad excuse
For mere lack of talent

I wonder who coined the term
To describe this mental lapse
Perhaps, a dearth of inspiration
Or a career choice gone bad

I guess I'll have to wait
For the words to come to me
Although its really ironic
How I managed to pen this piece!
