The blank screen <br />Stares me in the face <br />What should I write about <br />A poem on love <br />Or a story on the same subject? <br />Ideas rush through my mind <br />At the speed of light <br />My fingers cannot keep pace <br />As the thoughts just race <br />Then all I see is only a confused mass <br />Of stray ideas that make neither <br />A fine poem nor an interesting tale <br />So I need to fold up my laptop <br />And type again at a later date <br />When I have a nice poem to recite <br />Or a proper story to relate<br /><br />Sandra Martyres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/writers-block-25/
