Writer's Poetic Block Poem by Tom Billsborough

Writer's Poetic Block

Rating: 5.0


My brain was fuzzy, nothing clear.
So I stuck the nozzle to my ear.
The Hoover sucked and I blew my nose
But what came out was merely prose,
Not a line that I could use
To offer to my starving Muse.

Just garbled thoughts, some quite obscene.
Fit only for a magazine
Which gents may glance at while alone
Or sitting by the telephone
Discussing with a Lady fair
Her body parts, allegedly quite bare.

But how does one indeed unlock
That infamy, the Writer's block.
I beg you now, I'm on my knees
For your suggestions, please!

Not keen on Sudoku. But I have a magazine called Code Words and I download Google's Nonograms from the net. First thing in the morning it's always Black coffee (very strong Arabic) cigarette and usually two or three puzzles. Then I'm raring to go! And you are quite right.. writing! Giving the game away there1
