Blocked

But that this impotent pen clasped within my lame fingers
Could rise to the challenge once more.

Sharpening my mind, drawing my metaphors
Ready for the battle of wits.

But that my ideas could flow, cascading

As clear water from its source instead of
As of late, cold porridge oozing through a mangle

But that my humble words would meet others
as in some cosmic meeting of minds

To form lines. Onwards, ever onwards,
stretching their puny limbs towards heaven

In some celestial explosion to form into sublime stanzas
of note, of worthy and noble blood,

To withstand the tests of time.
Such that in one thousand years

Others may look upon these words and say
'By' eck that girl could pen a line'
