Writers Block - POEM of the MONTH!

Writers Block
The poem which inspired the short story Painted Ladies.

I turned the corner
and there it was!
a row of houses
each filled with imagination

I scribbled down the street
held by a free-hand –
a life of permanence
unable to erase memories

I skipped up the steps
only to discover a locked door –
a repeated occurrence
even at the last attempted point

I exclaimed at the threshold
of a lost original thought
to be formed somewhere inside
the living spaces of tomorrow

yes – there I was! on Writers Block –
a neighborhood of experiences
marked by errors and flowing ideas
if only I had the courage to knock

"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." II Timothy 2:15

Polonius:
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
Laertes:
Most humbly do I take my leave, my lord.
 Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–82  - William Shakespeare
