A Sonnet to Writer's Block
To be a writer who cannot write
To have flesh strain, mind so weak
To be a flower that can't find light
To face a page so empty and bleak
To to have desire and not the skill
To make something of beauty and art
To have the willing but not the will
To have hands that work, but not a heart
Like a falling wall you have to build
By piling crumbling brick upon brick
You put one on one with each stone you wield
But it falls away, for the mortar won't stick
Still, I say push on and push through
For that's how this poem came to you
