Writers block, by Felicia Subscribe to rss feed for Felicia

like a painter brush strokes the canvas
My pencil meets the blank page  
I hold fast till my fingers purple and numb

The empty page mocks me in such a way
I remove myself to release the piercing stare
Does everyone look at me this way?

But wait, hold on stop this madness
Its only a page a blank page
How can it cause this turmoil?

How can I free myself......
From the grip it holds me under
I scream stuck in space "Free Me"

I avert my eyes from the cruel page
Curses still fresh on my lips 
Only to find a small mark across the page 

Lifting my curse and setting me free at last.

Wow, this one's really powerful! Expresses well and I love your way with words!! The personification and imagery really paints a good picture for the reader!

specifically just for this poem i am leaving this comment....if you would like to know what i do to write it is simply this....for some reason multiple ideas of poems always pop up in my head and i begin to write. i can write an entire poem just by thinking of a title i think would sound good for a poem..also the same vice versa when i start writing about something an interesting or overall good in my opinion of a title pops in my head....hmm i guess basically the main thing is is that I continously have ideas for new poems some i dont get the chance to write and also i have never had writers block before...but anyways i hope this helps you some...(also getting ideas absorbed from the outlook on other poems made into ones own idea)..comment me sometime!
