Writer's Block

By Darren Mei

Thoughts evade me
swirling around like
a boa constrictor,
circling its prey

Ideas are within reach,
but saunter away when I reach out
to grasp them

A large wall looms in the distance,
and as I strain my eyes I read,

W,R,I,T,E,R,S,
B,L,O,C,K.

No! I think.
I work my mind,
but the whirlstorm of ideas
stays penned behind the wall,
mocking me

Finally I surrender,
waving a white flag in my imaginary world,
while closing down an empty
Microsoft Word.

I guess I will just have to leave this for,
another day.
