Poetic Pickaxe To The Writer’s Block
Caught between
Romantic context
Forms functional seams
Scientific method
Hardened by means
Casts away castaways
Clearing the decks
Images sound vague
Confused and eluded
Stubbornly refusing
Enlightenment intellectualized
Academically infused
Hollowed vacancy
Uselessness construed
While somewhere in the between
Caught myself
Not paying attention
Lost again
Withdrawn and confused
Wallowing in dejection
Giggling blue
Bursting excitement
Critically extracted
Necessity contracted
Vulgarities come to mind
Pen back to paper
Culminating rhyme
Blasting brain farts
Driveling thoughts
Juicy ink blots
Art costs
So divvy up those arms and legs
Run far and fast
Never look back
Because I’ll bet they are
All out to get you
Refuse the obvious
Obliviously mistrust
Runs down puddling canvas
Stink blanks
False alarms
Content and form
Mounding patty piles
High-water wading
Pulling up the bootstraps
Spanking black
Away with the blues
Bound and gagged
Infinitely free
Shackled delightedly
Words lock jaw
Brain calls
Long distance
Busy signals
The lines are out for now
