A Writer's Greatest Fear
What keeps me up13 total reviews
Comment from Leineco
The fear we all hide
The worry behind our pride
No words left inside
There's a whole lot of truth in these 14 little words -
words are our lego bricks, and poetry is what we build
with them. . .
no more words, and all we have left is rubble!
Excellent response to the Writer's Block prompt - best wishes
in the voting booth! :-)

Hi Lancellot
A great entry for the contest. Congratulations on your placement. Great presentation. Your words particularly capture the essence of writer's block. A great final line, "No words left inside" ... I know that feeling well. :)) The fear, the dread, yes, the insult to our pride. Perfect syllable count with a great message which gives impact, also you managed to rhyme which works very well. I've enjoyed your take on this prompt topic. Well done. I feel the frustration, that dried up feeling. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

Comment from Dawn Munro
LOL - this is great! I love the artwork you chose too, but it's the poem that's truly stellar. I suffered with writer's block once - couldn't write anything worthwhile for a long time, and all because I didn't obey the drive to write.
Good luck in the contest - I think you should have this one in the bag. :))

Dynamic presentation and all three lines rhyme in your 5-7-5. Nicely done. I guess pride does enter into it and we begin to doubt ourselves, especially when a deadline nears. Marilyn

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yes, disambiguation can certainly become a problem and effect the stumbling writer's mood in many ways, most of them negative.
You said as much here, and managed to include rhyming theme, in your 5-7-5 contest entry.
Good luck.

Comment from Judy Couch
I like the rhyme of this poem. It conveys a truth that we all experience at one time or another. This is especially true as a deadline approaches and I can't think of any way to finish the story. The picture compliments it well.

This 5-7-5 about writers block, Greatest Fear, presents the horrific idea that there is nothing left to come out. Then we wake up Peyton Place on Moon Base One, Vampires in the Russian Doping Lab, Lawrence Welk clones with Attitudes, etc.

Hi there,
This is one of the more thoughtful 5-7-5 poems I've read on the subject matter. I think you've hit something here very concisely. A matter of pride and feeling bereft. Been there! lol
All the best

Excellent 5/7/5 you made me afraid so you already got my attention because I love horror. LoL
Good syllable count. I was going to review as if it was a haiku and then I realized it is not.
Great job!

This is a great presentation. The colors really add depth to your poem. Good job on the syllable counts per line & the use of rhyme.
Your message is loud & clear. Sometimes writers are their own worst enemy.
Good job & best wishes in the contest. Jan
