Hours march on by
And I am left wond'ring why
Where are the words
Those I want in poetry heard?
Left with empty mind
Oh where are the rhythms—the rhymes?
It flusters me
I simply want to compose poetry!
I have the time
But cannot conceive one rhyme
I feel so glum
Head hollow like a drum
Almost feel dumb
The right words just WILL! NOT! COME!
'Morrow perhaps
Then into poetry I will lapse.
Then into poetry I will lapse...... excellent.... thanks a lot..

What a beautiful and brilliant flow of thoughts depicting an experience of creative slowdown called writer's block. Many times I experienced this struggle too, probably, due to exhaustion from work or too much thinking.
