Weekly Writing Challenge: Poetry The Writer’s Nightmare No inspiration, There is none, I sit here, void, and Twiddle thumbs. It’s writer’s block that Bogs me down. The channel closed; My smile a frown. I patiently await a sign, A notion that Might just be mine, That from the Ether Will descend And soon to Earth … More The Writer’s Nightmare
Lambs in Spring Little white balls of beautiful fluff, Bouncing and prancing and that kind of stuff. Baaing and whimpering here and there Sometimes they’ll do nothing but stop and stare.

Emptiness. A void waiting to be filled. Fill it wisely, and be well. ~*~ A path familiar walked for too long a time.

~*~ In Winter’s barren, snowy field I stand, My tender heart gripped tightly in his icy hand. His frosty breath across my naked soul doth blow, Leaving in its numbing wake a frosted, ruddy glow. * I didn’t mean to stand in Winter’s field so bare.

The heart is more than words as passions run And spirits soar to lift above the cloud. For one thing only moves beneath the sun And trumpet calls my name so true and loud.
