Writer's Block

For some it may come as an unwelcome shock
to realize that they have a Writer's Block
And that poets who are used to writing page after page
have invariably reached that unpleasant stage
where to find a topic, they must untimely think
when before- ideas would come quicker that they could blink
In non-trivial conditions it may drive writers berserk
at the loss of their talent to produce new work
And Writer's Block may persist for months and years
even drawing them to the end of their careers
But the maddening inability to continue a rhyme,
is an affliction writers experience from time to time
So an author may move to another job- say an engineer
that's so opposite when compared to his beloved sphere
while in the process, he's being bored to tears
Then all of a sudden, emerging out of the blue
scores of ideas arrive, not just a few
Meanwhile, inspiration begins to shower you like rain
and you know: the unattainable, you will attain
So you have a desire to return to your passion
and to express your views in a whole other fashion.
I've noticed- I stopped composing for a couple of years as well
until thoughts starting coming out of their shell
But frankly, it won't come as a big shock
to realize I didn't have a Writer's Block...
I probably just didn't feel like it
