Lost (Writer's Block #2)

A little poetry for a change.

I’m lost.

No map.

I go in circles.

Trapped in crowds.

So many distractions.

I need food. I need wine. I need coffee.

All of the above and more.

Writer’s Block?

No, just a little lost…


Now found?

I scribble.

Illegibly.

What was that great point?

Go in circles.

Trapped in tropes.

Uncommonly banal.

So many dead ends.

So many distractions.

I need food. I need wine. I need coffee.

All the above and more.

Maybe I get there.

Maybe not.

Keep walking.

Keep writing.

Writing Asides are essays about what writers do, dream, and think about when they “should” be writing…and how it’s all part of the process.
