When every word I write
feels forced and inauthentic
as a last resort
and my final retort:
I refuse to post a tepid piece
and pretend I meant it
I’m gonna go play with
my writer’s blocks!

And the desk lamp’s bright glare, the blocks with their blank stare,
Gave proof through the night that our page was still bare.

Bravo Lola. Many writers are certainly off their blocks. That is what makes it all exciting and challenging.

Great stuff. I must get a set. Actually, this is a great piece of advice you’ve given us – writers need to go play. It’s too easy to take ourselves too seriously, and it’s in play where the good stuff happens. And even if it doesn’t, at least you’re having fun 🙂
