WRITER’S BLOCK

Whelping prose left and right
None of it worth a damn
Writing free with no insight
The result both dull and bland

Driving the endless noun and verb
To an early bottomless grave
With no functional purpose served
Without a single poem saved

Spitting out words that rhyme
Putting them in lines of four
Trying a theme time after time
Then trying to pen some more

Changing the style is little help
The product is bad to worse
Putting ideas on the shelf
Kicking a pretty dead horse
