Block-Sestina
Writers block
A binding curse
The worst agony
A poet feels
As they take a seat
To make something new
But the ideas aren't new
No, there's a block
And you melt in your seat
The return of the curse
The return of the agony
They know how it feels
And it feels like agony
But that isn't new
How everyone feels
Surmounting the block
Defeating the curse
Fighting in your seat
And in your seat
Enduring the agony
Write, rewrite, read, curse
And repeat, nothing new
Just the block
That everyone feels
And everyone feels
Frustration's seat
Seat on the block
The block of agony
The block of un-new
The block, the curse
Curse...curse
A curse everyone feels...
A curse that's not new...
A curse in your seat...
A curse that's agony...
A curse...writer's block!
That's it!
Simply written
When nothing is!
I really wanted to get a good sestina down. I wrestled with this form of poetry...it's a real challenge to write for me. It needs help!!!
