Writer Blocked

Hello Universe 223

Here's a poem I wrote when I had severe writer's block.

Do you ever feel blocked or stuck? What do you do to get over it? Share your tips in the comments below, I definitely need them. 😄

Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!

---

The cursor kept on blinking as I
trashed another draft.
Doubting whether I could keep
up with this crafty craft.

😣😣

Concepts flashing in and out,
but nothing I could write.
Nothing that could please a crowd
or cause any delight.

😥😥

Sad and flustered, I looked up
toward the starry sky.
Imploring, "Help me cross this hump,
or I'll break down and cry.

😖😖

My punches have no punch in them,
my humor's lacking fun.
I'm feeling truly underwhelmed.
My talent's been undone!"

💀💀

This drama made the Almighty
look down, surprised and shocked.
And God then sensed that I might need
a passionate pep talk.

📣📣

"Hey man", said God, "take some time off.
Go out and take a walk.
Cause, this is just a classic case of
chronic writer's block!

📖✒❌

"So chill, just take a break, you know?
Lie down, and get some rest.
Just take it easy, let it go!"
said God to me, and left.

👋👋

I did as I was told by God,
and followed the advice.
Right after which I wrote a plot
and edited it twice.

🧾🧾

I know it's not my finest work,
as I am pressing 'SEND'.
But you just read the whole thing, so,
the joke's on you, my friend.

😝😝😝
