A Poet's Worse Nightmare

Smiles:) Barbara Your flow was good I really see the nightmare here of being burned out. only suggestion to offer is that beable maybe be able and brown out, is two i see need your attention. other than this your image still came through fine.

for words to write, writing is like a curse you pray for, very frustrating. Your friend, Mark

I just love this poem, everything you say is just so true! and I wanted to point out two mistakes that I found: line 2: of poems to be line 8: they are gifted artists I really enjoyed reading this piece, thank you, Pixee. your Proprietress

Never happened to me (it has happened lots of times) luckily I have Lori to tell me what to do like clean the house or do the laundry or walk the half mile up the streets to the store for something for us rub her feet watch television go sit all alone in a coffee shop (wouldnt have it any other day) yah when it happens I'm like well I guess I wrote my last decent poem at least I got a few in here like everyone Great poem about this subject!

I have times when I am not able to write a thought, but then I write crap after crap until the spark flare up again. I wrote about every thought, thing see, thing hear, thing smell, crappy songs or research a topic for debate on another site. Then I post what feel mores like a good piece and wait for critique. Rob Graber can rip you apart with critique in the general poetry forum. I learn why my poem was crappy kicking back at him. Then that's me weird as usual. To me when I can't write or is at loss for words to pen I go deep inside me and their it is. Or I read other people poems get inspire and go inside to find the words. It usually struggles it way out. My acrostic poem Weird was a struggle to write. The next one after it Barely Living came with ease. I never had long periods of time where I weren't able to write, just didn't feel like or wanted to write at times. Respectfully Yours, Barbara
