Excellent

I admired your use of abundant alliteration and the "truanting" verb to intensify your reflections about writer's block. You also added the perfect illustration. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

This is a solid entry for the 5-7-5 muse block contest
though the second line appears to have six syllables
Good imagery and some alliteration
Nice picture to match
Good luck in the contest

Dear Mystery Poet,

I like your 5-7-5 poem about your experience with writers block. We have all been there. Your first line, "chewed pencil prostrate" is your aha line. It's a good one :) Unfortunately, I only count six syllables in your second line. You might want to fix that before the contest deadline.

Sincerely Joy
