I think we've al experienced that from time, although it's rare fo me these days. There's always something to write about, but not necessarily the desire to write. Well done Rox, an excellent couplet rhyming poem, about such a thing, well done, good job, blessings, Roy

A very well-written rhyming poem. Sometimes all ideas just dry up and we have no inspiration to write. It happens always on the time when we really do need to have something created on paper.

    Thank you so much Sandra. I'm hoping to become unblocked soon. Maybe a laxative will help. =} Rox

I am praying for you and your muse. But you did write this great little gem!! Good stuff that is cute and will appeal to any writer. Sometimes we just get down. I am the most prolific person I know - and I can have a slump too. You sound like a wonderful person and I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Being that you've just written (and entered in a contest) a very funny poem written about your inability to write, I think you've made your way past that writer's block. I'm sorry you're still not feeling well, but I hope writing this poem brightened your day, because reading it brightened mine. Feel better, and good luck in the contest.

This is a humorous depiction of what happens to me frequently. There are some especially cute lines, the "looking to the sky" and the "pray and fast". If I may, I have two suggestions: remove, in the interest of rhythm, "maybe" in stanza seven and "me" before "godspeed." Another good one: Mine is not to reason why but to sit and wait. Very funny.

Oh, Rox.

Me, too! My muse has gone incognito. I have no idea who the dear soul has gotten off to. Seems she is intent on staying hidden for a bit. --sigh-- Good luck!

I enjoyed this read, Roxanna Andrews. I liked the flow of this piece and the bouncy rhyme you used to express your writer's block. Only one small thing: And halleluja! (hallelujah!). Good luck in the contest.

Hi Roxanna,

There are some great rhyme sites to give you more options. No need to be in a rhyming funk. I use rhymezone.com Check it out. I usually get lots of inspiration just looking at the rhyming options.

- "I'm desperate down (hear)" - here

This is an interesting contest entry. I wish you well with it.

Hi, Rox,

Maybe you should 'fake it till you make it.' I know after I was sick right after Christmas, it was extremely difficult to make myself return to normal activities. So, I forced myself.

You can do it!!

    I am finally feeling much better but wasn't in a writing, or card making mood which is not good for my shop. I'm hoping to become unblocked soon. Maybe a laxative will help. =} You never write like your blocked. Always great. Thanks so much for the R&R. Rox

It happens, but you managed a poem for the rhyming contest here in the lull so don't beat yourself up! I always call these times peaceful! The lull before the storm! Good luck with the contest, great rhymes here, love Dolly x
