Writer's Block Revisited

For National Poetry Month #25

I wanted to write from some spot

in my brain,

my heart,

where real poetry resides

waiting to be plucked

out of the air,

and fall out onto a page.

But that spot had a sign up,

“closed for inventory.”

Although I tried the window and the back door too,

all was locked and shuttered for the night.
