Writer’s block

I wrote a poem

I wrote a poem

I want to shout it but I won’t

I wrote a poem.

I wrote a poem

A simple poem

I ache to cry but hold it back

I wrote a poem.

*

I wrote a poem

Just a poem

It’s not my best, but it’s not half bad

I wrote a poem.

*

I wrote a poem

Thank God, a poem

Was almost sure the well’d dried up

But I wrote a poem.

*

It’s just a poem

I know, a poem

but I dare believe, it’s cleared the way

for another poem.
