Writers Block

Upon joining this site, I wanted to impress
With a poem that’s original, to put me to the test
So decided I would write, something different and new
But what's it going to be about? I haven't got a clue.

I’m staring at a blank screen, unable to think.
My brains just like a pen that's run out of ink.
Analogy's a great theme, I’ve not done that before
Already hit a brick wall, as I can't think of anymore.

Should I write about a dream, romance, or secret fears?
Looking for inspiration, but still with no ideas.
I try using my imagination, so I write down a few lines
Then look for other words, to try and make them rhyme.

My plan was to create a poem, with poise and eloquence
But everything I write down just simply makes no sense.
So, to spark creativity I recall something from the past
Ideas come and go, but the moment doesn't last.

I suppose my brain is scrambled, and running a bit too slow
I attempt to write something meaningful, but nothing seems to flow.
I guess writing poetry, is not as easy as it looks.
So I admire all those poets, whose work is published in a book.
