#block poems on Hello Poetry

George Krokos Mar 2021

No matter who you are or what you have been doing
at some stage an obstacle appears without choosing.
It may be a person, a thing or one of nature's forces
that can just set you back on your forward courses.
It could also be a sheer lack of available knowledge
called ignorance, about what to do next or to manage
that activity or certain thing you've been involved in
where any progress forward seems unlikely and thin.

There may be other factors as well such as motivation,
issues of health, self confidence and lack of inspiration
which could be affecting or stalling the overall progress
of the situation at hand causing some undesirable stress.
A breakdown in one's personal or business relationship
will likely be a major setback causing a backward flip
especially where the parties are involved in a litigation
and the legal processes stretch out beyond expectation.

This would also include writer's block. Written late in 2020.

Blanket Statement

I would just like to say
I don't know what to say
I know
It's so boring
But it's nice
Now that we're on the same page

The best way to around writers block, is through it.

Writer’s Block

Somewhere in northern New Mexico
a writer claims
that the first two weeks
after a long hiatus
are the hardest.
After all,
scratching the words of the Gods
on to a loose leaf paper
must be arduous for those
out of practice.

Can't Write

Elke dag bring ek notepad op,
En begin ek om te skryf,
Maar die woorde kom nie.
Ek kan vra en ek kan smeek,
Maar hul wag langs die kantlyn
En spot my stil.

Writer's Block 🔮

The simplicity of its complexity is the divine uniqueness of writer's block

The mind is a locale where inspiration and luxuriant words seldom interlock

Wandering along a forlorn, tenebrous path with no end objective like a sleepwalk

Perhaps it's an alternative door into the sanguine future that I seek to unlock?

🔮 🔮 🔮 🔮 🔮

Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work or experiences a creative slowdown. This loss of ability to write and produce new work is not a result of commitment problems or the lack of writing skills.[1] The condition ranges from difficulty in coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work for years. Writer's block is not solely measured by time passing without writing. It is measured by time passing without productivity in the task at hand.

🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮

Divine - delightful

Locale - place where something happens

Luxuriant - rich

Forlorn - abandoned

Tenebrous - dark

Sanguine - optimistic

🔮🔮🔮🔮🔮

I'm not looking for attention, I'm looking for the meaning of my words which I feel I've lost
.........
Maybe I've lost my ability to write
..........
Maybe I should I stop altogether
......
Or maybe I'll unblock my writer's block?
