Frustration.jpg


I’m so sick of writer's block
Can’t you see I’m already lost?
Yet you stand there and mock
My talent is always the cost
You make me angry all the time,
And leave me with a forced rhyme
Writers block I really hate you
Somehow you’ve stuck like a tattoo
I know this form will be bad
But I hope you get I’m mad
So I have just one more thing to say,
Writer's block go away!

I like this poem. I really can relate, all too much...

I did notice at first you didn't rhyme and then you did but thats okay...

I was just wondering if you meant to do that!

I like the picture! :c)

Yes, I can definately relate! My favorite line is:

And leave me with a forced rhyme

because it's so true that when writer's block hits you, this is the typical thing you'll do.

Nice poem!
Keep writing :)

Oh, writer's block....the pen's arch nemesis...

I think we can all relate to this one. I commend you putting the pent-up frustration of all writers on earth in one poem :P The flow was a bit off for me but then I realize that it reflects writers block and it made the poem even better! Great job!

Can completely relate...

And yeah. Though you may feel that the word "fucking" fits because really writer's block can piss you off, it doesn't. Replace it or take it out. Either one would work.

I found this poem highly entertaining, as its exactly how I am when writers block hits :)

Great job,

I don't see why you, in the first line, you addressed writers block differently than you did the second, and to the end. You start out by not talking directly to it, but then you act like you are talking to it.

I would also get rid of "fucking" and replace it, I don't think it adds to the poem at all.
