I have a disease

Its name is not that pitiful writers block,

No-its name belongs with the loss of  creativity,

I have stolen the little creativity that you may have had,

After all what good did it do you?

Few enjoyed those pitiful poems and stories written by you.

Choose a font,

Oh, this one will do-

No, no creativity is sparked from this one-

Maybe-maybe Aha! This one,

Nope no spark.

This one will have to do.

Words flow from the brain,

Patter, click, patter, click goes the writer,

Banging away at the keyboard and mouse-

Oh no- Revision time comes.

DELETE, DELETE, DELETE.

Bye, bye poem

Ah, nothing better than a fresh start.

TIMES NEW ROMAN

If the Romans can do it, so can I

Maybe a feather pen would help?

Get those creative juices flowing?

Nope, birds do not like being plucked of their feathers,

And ink does not hold well in them-

Am I doing it wrong?

Crumples the paper,

NEW DOCUMENT

Tap, tap, tap, tap

Nada, I have no ideas

Anger?

I have done that already

Pain?

That too

Giving up?

I gave up so many times that I don’t want to talk about it

Okay, so I know that that poem was horrific, but all of my poems turned out angry today. No offense, but for some reason no one likes my angry poems.
