"There are times when one tries to write and cannot come up with anything worthwhile. It is popularly known as 'THE WRITER'S BLOCK'. Since past week or so I have been facing that same dreaded problem. So to counter it I decided to write one on this problem itself. Tried to put into words exactly the frustration I am going through. Hope that this finally cures my block."
Tick Tock! Tick Tock!
Watching the
clock,
Fiddling with
pen,
Facing the
block.
Inking the
pages,
Crumpling them
all,
Tossing them
over,
Like basket
ball.
Train of the
thoughts,
Ramming the
wall,
The writer
within,
You cannot
recall.
Writing a
line,
Scratching it
clean,
Can’t put to
words,
Sights you
have seen.
Tick Tock! Tick Tock!
Flies away
time,
Pacing the
hall,
For a single
line.
The pen is
asleep,
But sleep
you cannot,
Restless,
breathless,
Connecting the
dots.
Wandering,
fearing,
Is it the
end?
The pen
seems broken,
Will it ever
mend?
Arch, this too will pass! How about writing a review of a book? :o)
ReplyDeleteTo write such great stuff while having the writer's block is pure genius. This is one of your best and one of my personal favourites. :) Keep going, n if this is d kind of stuff u come up with during a block, here let me wish you many more writer's blocks! Haha!

A brilliant poem, Arch, please keep going. It's fabulous! You've put into words how we all feel from time to time.
