DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK!!!
Create a prose based on the following concept: (intended conceptually, not literally)
Writers block shows up rather regularly, interrupts us, is painful, irritating and often causes headaches. Occasionally indigestion. Playing off the common phrase "aunt flow," (menstruation), one could compare aunt flow (menstruation) and writers block (anti-flow). You can use this play on words and concept to fuel a rant, a comparison, whatever you please. But I think we all agree writers block is a vile creature that must be executed without mercy. May the rage commence!
Out of Order
My brain's out of order
there’s nothing within
I couldn’t stop my intellect
from going on a hike
no matter how I race
it gallops faster
on steed of erased thoughts
taking its sterling ideas
mounted on pencil of escape
my eraser shudders forlorn
but there’s nothing to delete
past reflections obliterated
blank pages unfilled
cycle of delete, repeat, erase
crumpled papers on floor
aneurysm of sentiments
burst my veins of perception
I bend my ideations
begging them to home in
on frantic needy space
before mind crumbles to dust
but I hear the refrain
your brain is drained
as I sit in the block
that all writers face.
