I liked your writer's block 5-7-5 poem. How often do we become discouraged when we can't seem to get our thoughts together. Clever idea! I liked your picture too!

Great 5-7-5 format. Nailed the syllable count by my count. Killer final line, which I believe we all have felt. Great choice of artwork. Best wishes on the contest.

Oh, good one. Displayed well, too. We do get felled by frustration when we hit a "dead" end. Smooth flow of words and theme is consistent. Marilyn

This 5-7-5 about writers block, Buried Alive, almost seems like giving in to the starvation. Time to tunnel out to the road and catch a ride back to your typewriter. Happy day.

Excellent 5/7/5 you made me think twice so you already got my attention. LOL

Good syllable count. I was going to review as if it was a haiku and then I realized it is not.

Great job!

Whoa--now, that was unexpected! You really captured the frustration of writer's block well, and as usual managed to heighten the feeling with alliteration. Cheers and best wishes in the contest- Joan

I've been very slowly overcoming years long writers block, so I can really relate to all these poems! You did a great job with this, well written and very clever and has the correct syllable count, good luck!

Hopefully the Speaker's malaise will not result in his passing.
I like how you personify your mystery muse as having a sadistic sense of humor: He can both cause the writer to expire AND write his epitaph.

This is a fine entry for the contest
with exact syllables at 5-7-5
This would be a good entry in an epitaph contest
good use of alliteration
Apparently, writers block can be lethal
Excellent picture to match
Good luck in the contest
