[Poem] Writer In Distress
Aside: This very short poem was originally composed and published (on Facebook) in July of 2012; a period when I had just began taking little nervous sips from the epiphanic wineglass of creative writing. It is the second poem I ever wrote.
I was trying to capture the mental turmoil and constipation that befalls a writer before we see the beauty of his/her work.
Momentarily, motion became motionless,
Warring ideas encamp bare brain,
Blue black,
Lilac,
Perception becomes deception,
Thought-tainted blood,
Flowed through nail-bitten fingers,
Wood and Lead came to life,
To issue that which had strived.
