Pages crumpled and torn <br />Poems half-written <br />A jumble of thoughts and ideas <br />And a worn out pencil <br /> <br />I want to be funny now <br />And sad the next moment <br />Or should I be wise and deep <br />And get stuck the next minute <br /> <br />Oh! When will it pass <br />My writer's block <br />Or is it a sad excuse <br />For mere lack of talent <br /> <br />I wonder who coined the term <br />To describe this mental lapse <br />Perhaps, a dearth of inspiration <br />Or a career choice gone bad <br /> <br />I guess I'll have to wait <br />For the words to come to me <br />Although its really ironic <br />How I managed to pen this piece!<br /><br />Gauri Gupta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-writer-s-block/
