Writer's Block 101 Poem by Denis Martindale

Writer's Block is a callous curse
That curbs the flow of valiant verse
And thus opposes worse and worse
Till daylight dawns again...

Writer's Block is a morbid sense
That not one writer comprehends,
Except it's like you lose your friends
Till daylight dawns again...

Writer's Block is a ghost that haunts
And subtle is the way it taunts,
Such that the bravest it still daunts
Till daylight dawns again...

Writer's Block is a hill some climb
And there to spend a lonesome time,
Bereft of love's most radiant rhyme
Till daylight dawns again...

But Writer's Block, begone, I say,
Cast out with each new word I pray,
Such that God's grace must save the day...
When daylight dawns again...

I wasn't born to live and fail,
I'll share God's poems, tell each tale,
As if each were the Holy Grail,
So daylight dawns again...
