Hindsight 20/20
Writer's block
My glass is empty!
Creative process
Transparently fragile
Must find my muse!
Must be mentally agile!
Struggling through
But no inspiration
Need some relief
From brain constipation
Finally!
Oh, what a thrill!
My muse returns
My glass starts to fill!
From immovable object
To unstoppable force
Manipulate physics?
My muse can of course!
My glass is now full
I've just posted my poem
Alas, glass now empty
My muse loves to roam

2/8/2020 - Poetry form: Rhyme - "Glass is Empty" is my avatar. It reflects a play on words with my initials, as "Empty" becomes "MT" for my name. The glass represents my transparently fragile creative process. The glass begins to fill as I struggle through the process of writing, becoming full when I (finally!) complete a short story or poem. After publishing the work, the glass becomes empty again, awaiting new inspiration. Empty or full, the glass is always "MT" :) - © 2020 by Mark Toney. All rights reserved.
