-
A demon has my mind
Ensnared in stagnation.
The thoughts dammed up
By lack of imagination.
Oh, great muse,
Let the words flow
Like a great flood.
Break down the dam
Of mental obstruction
And drown the demon
That holds my mind hostage.
Free my mind of this unwanted bondage.
Let my mind run free
Across mental borders and
Break through these seemingly impervious
Walls of mental soldiers, but
There is no muse
To answer my invocation.
I sink into despair as
My writer's block continues to no avail.

- Title: Writer's Block
- Artist: Lightning_Lord_Ginji
- Description: This is my lament about my inability to produce an inspired work. Ironically this poem was conceived in my American English Lit. class which in a bout of inspired boredom. I tend to wright in blank verse because the common iambic meter hinges on syllables which i find constraining. In ancient Greek plays(the Odyssey, Oedipus Rex etc.) many begin with an invocation to the muses who are the goddess of arts. The fact that I fail can be interpreted in many ways, but that is truly up to the reader.

- I think it's very good and stirs quite a bit of emotion. The ONLY thing that bothered me a little were the lines at the beginning where you said "great" twice within three lines. Other than that, very good smile
