HOMAGE TO WRITER’S BLOCK

Pummeled by silence
Battered by nothingness
I stand befuddled

All said
Obviously thoughtless
Essentially wordless

Existence questioned
Purpose obscured 
Reason vanquished 

Subject scattered
Words shattered
Id bloodied on shards of attempt

I offer nothing
No gift have I
Exposed Valueless 

And I stand exposed
A purveyor of words
Husked 

Cast your verbs
Fling your adjectives
Strike with your nouns

But I must claim!

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