Edit- I suppose I should write how I feel about it, um, this was forced out of my current writer's block. That's why it's so short. xD Um, anyway this would be my first submission here!

The Writing Pest

Writer’s block. You filthy pest. Comes and stays in my head. Stays there until I can’t take it. I can’t take that gnawing at my mind to write. That gnawing that eats at my ideas. Eats my ideas until I can’t come up with anymore.

Writer’s block. You terrible enemy. I can never think with you there. Worlds of glorious castles and fantastical realms are destroyed. All because of you, writer’s block.

Writer’s block. So won’t you face me? Look at me with those evil eyes, hungry for more ideas to devour. Look at me and tell me what you want. More ideas, you say? Terrible. Just disgusting. That is the only pleasure you get? The only way to satisfy your life is to devour the hardships and desires of writers? Pathetic. You need a new life. A new hobby. A new pleasure. If you stop devouring ideas, maybe, just maybe, I will write you a life.

Writer’s block. Give me back my life and I will give you one.

Oh this made me laugh. Great job, personifying what all us writers face from time to time. It's ironic how a piece about writer's block is actually a written work of yours now, isn't it? It's so counter-intuitive. I think your invisible enemy has just been put to shame. Good for you!

I agree with the others. This would be a good poem. I really like because I can totally relate to it. Writer’s block sucks to get when you are finally getting to a good part in a story or novel. It always hits me hard then. The words really gave me an image of like a rat or something bothering or taunting you with its existence so that you can’t write. Over all, it was good. Keep up the good work!
