Obviously I'm not happy with what I've been writing. I know I can do better, so why aren't I?


The Great Poem Is Lost

I yearn, I ache I strain I struggle
I must write the great poem
It's lost somewhere in me
I search, I prod, I plow I burrow
I seek the words to tell
What I know eats at me
I squirm, I grunt, I sweat, I grovel
I must get at that place
It's hidden so deep from me
I beg, cry, I beseach, I whale
It remains a mystery
But such a part of me

Until I uncover
what I know is there
I will continue
To write drivel

You have to go on and on untill you have the right words to write the right poem. It's indeed sad when one is in his/her block. But you can't really help it as well, you just have to continue writing because you don't know when you'll be back. Just keep on searching for the right words to write the right poem.
