HOMAGE TO WRITER’S BLOCK

HOMAGE TO WRITER’S BLOCK

Pummeled by silence
Battered by nothingness
I stand befuddled

All said
Obviously thoughtless
Essentially wordless

Existence questioned
Purpose obscuredΒ 
Reason vanquishedΒ 

Subject scattered
Words shattered
Id bloodied on shards of attempt

I offer nothing
No gift have I
Exposed ValuelessΒ 

And I stand exposed
A purveyor of words
HuskedΒ 

Cast your verbs
Fling your adjectives
Strike with your nouns

But I must claim!

Surely only A poet
Of prodigious verbosityΒ 
Could say so little with so much

Β

Poetess you are as usual kind.
Refusing to allow a loss of subject matter to stymie my need to pontificate, I decided to explore the β€œblocked” feelings.
thanks for reading
