Writer's Block | Catherine Shong

Clenched hands

Mind void

Trash can

Start over


She finds herself

Mindlessly seeking

Blinded by the illusion

Of creativity


Held back by emptiness

At what point

Is the inspiration going to strike?

The paper is still blank.


“Fine then!”

Shoes tied

Coat on

March out


The cold fall air skirted

On the edge of frigid winter wind

Fiery autumn leaves scattered

Across the concrete path

Soft snowflakes flutter

Down to the white mug

Peppered with powdered chocolate

And it’s her hot cocoa

That the snow is falling in

She lifts the cup to her lips

And warmth floods through

Melting open her frozen thoughts

Maybe the little idea

Can be a small snowball

Rolling down a hill.
