Staring at a blank Screen

Tens of lines started, and tens of lines erased

Writer’s block has its ugly head raised

It has been an hour of staring at a screen

But incapable of writing a verse I have been

In this past hour, I’ve been desperately trying to find

A subject that generates some curiosity in my mind

But my mind has been wandering, unwilling to stay

On one subject long enough to write about it coherently today

*

Most days I am able to overcome writer’s block

But today it is lodged in my brain like a rock

I go over my day to see if anything interesting occurred earlier in the day

But the day had been ordinary in every way

So here I am, waxing eloquent about the lack of inspiration

And writing about it to show towards writing my dedication
