Yes
I tried
To no avail
I thought and pondered
And racked my brain
Even searched and researched
Yet nothing came to mind
Inspiration hid from my brain
Ideas could not be found anywhere
So I sit here with blank mind and blank paper
Etheree

This poem was inspired after reading “Birth of a Poem: Apology” on Greg Wolford’s site. Thanks Greg! 🙂
Brain is on standby
Can’t think of a thing to write
Senryu and goodnight

I’ve no words within.
No thoughts and nothing to say.
My mind is quite blank.
I just sit and stare and wait,
For inspiration doesn’t come.

Mind blank
Ideas are void
No inspiration comes
Frustration continues to mount
Writers block
