Writer's Block 101

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... Denis Martindale, copyright, April 2013.
