I like the expression you used I am branching out to find the tree of knowledge -words won't have stumped. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Thanks for your time in reviewing, and your good wishes!
Comment from Susan Larson
SO you managed to come up with three puns to express your writer's block? And you came up with such a perfect picture to illustrate your words? And your words of explanation flow as beautifully as your poem? I'd say you've taken a good whack at winning this contest!

If only everyone else thinks like you when they lay eyes on my poem. But I fear you are in the minority. Thanks very much for your positive review.
-
I see you're in second place so far.

ooh, exciting - I was languishing with just one vote when last I looked. I'm away to bed now, so everyone else must be up and reading.

You tied for third! At least you?ll get your ribbon posted! Congrats.

Clever use of words here with branch, tree, and stump. I like how each line contains its own wood reference. I appreciate the clear cut visual you have provided to go with this entry.

Give that ole writer's block a chop and bring it tumbling down. What an excellent metaphor for conquering that foe. I like the way you keep it consistent with the images of tree, branch and stump.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about writer's block that we all experience if we want to admit it or not. Some days I woke up in panic not knowing what I will write for the day. Not much later the first phrase pops up in my mind and the rest follow soon.

I think as long as we can find that first phrase it will set us on track.
Thanks for your review.
Comment from Patty Palmer
LOL at the getting chopped by the tree. Nothing more maddening than to be ready to finish what you're working on and not be able to think of an ending. A certain word or words The more I think the more confused i get. The last sentence is about the most important word or sentence of the whole poem; it's what pulls everything together.

You are right about getting that last word as a finishing piece. Or else the write just falls away to nothing memorable.
-
Yep! More than once I've scrapped a poem because I couldn't think of an ending. But I save it and one day the ending will be finished
Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a clever "take" on what I consider to be a difficult writing challenge. I appreciate all the puns. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Darlene Franklin
No, it doesn't sound full of bravado doesn't sound full of bravado, but rather desperation. For biting into the fruit from the tree of knowledge led to all kinds of problems. But you're willing to risk all of t hat to get some badly needed help.

The wood will kindle all sorts of ideas! Good and bad, no doubt.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fight here against 'writers block' with a determination not be 'stumped' by it. I liked the play on words here, very clever and I think this could be a winner! Love Dolly x
