Writer's Block Poem by Kevin Moore

Blank face staring- vacuous, askance-
one good eye (remaining) winking,
winking- winking with relentless pulse
of heart still-born without remorse,
winking in mocking regularity
(still here, still waiting)
pulsing, demanding, pleading, cajoling
driven on by autonomous
nerve function, sent signals
by heartless, sightless bundles
of single-minded synaptic synergy
winking, winking never ceasing
ever eager, ever hungry, ever ready
laughing, laughing always mocking
the impotence of ideas unformed,
beating out it’s condemnation cadence-
winking, pulsing, winking, beating
(regular, predictable)
one good eye in blank face pulsing,
staring, demanding, cajoling, daring:

“Poet, write”.
