When I finally got a pen
I forgot what the words were
I had them
But at a moment notice, I let go

"Words are Such Perfect Traitors" is what our fellow-poet Bharati Nayak has named her first collection of poems. And she is true!

LeeAnn, I can totally relate to this poem. Memory loss is so frustrating with creativity. What I do now with your scenario is try to remember that poem. If I can't, I immediately write another one. And I feel good afterwards!

It happens to all writers I guess. The heart is full but you can't write a word. Nice thought!

This is a fact. When the plate full of food is before you, you cannot eat.
