False Opening

Open . . .

a computer file

then

open up the mind;

the words begin to come.

They hit the screen;

as keys clickety-click

and a stanza is formed.

Wait . . .

for a thought,

a feeling,

a sound,

something seen or remembered.

Fingers steady,

senses enlivened;

at the ready,

try to push away the brain clouds

but alas . . .

the mind is a total blank

the last line is a dead end.

    once again good job

  4. It's good, it's pretty astute to write about writers block!  I like it.  To be perfectly honest, I personally would stay away from phrases like "open up  the mind" because I feel they are cliche and unoriginal.

      That being said, I think it's really playful, interesting and neat to read.

  5. Like the floodgates of thought - open up - as the fingers hit the keys. Story progresses - lines start to be harder to pull through - taking more thought - pushing uphill. Oh, how I hope - there will be a reasonable ending - before the floodgates close once more. Please not in the middle of a sentence .....♥
