Writer's Block

• Artist: Maegan Lali
• Description: This is a simple something I wrote while keeping score at my younger brother's baseball game. It just kind of came out and although it is simple, I kind of like it. Any feedback would be great...the simplicity of the rhyme scheme really bothers me....suggestions!?

“It was a dark and stormy night…”
No wait, that isn’t right.
A beginning should be something epic,
Not something quite so cliché or pathetic.
Beginnings set the tone-the mood;
You cannot have a good ending if your beginning is lacking a good attitude.
Writing a good beginning is tricky for it is a true work of art;
It takes intrigue, craft, and soul to make a good start.
It makes me wonder if writer’s block is truly-some days-just a loss of heart.

I actually liked that, its something so random it reminds me of somethign i would start rhyming in my head.
The ONLY thing I would change, so the flow isn't disrupted is
"You cannot have a good ending if your beginning is lacking a good attitude."
to
"You can't have a good ending if your beginning's lacking attitude
honestly, I think that is still to long as well, but i didnt want to change what you meant to say.
4/5
well done.
