Oh, that blank page
By ALongLook in The Write Stuff
August 1, 2008

Even the most prolific writers must sometimes have times on a given day when they just can't get started.

I know I do. From my book of poetry, let me share this:

SOMETIMES THE WORDS WON'T FLOW

Waiting. Waiting for an inspiration.

Knowing. Knowing there are thoughts, unspoken words bottled inside. They can't escape. Maybe they've been bottled too long.

Undiscovered fermentations. Sweet wine waiting to be poured. Are there corks of caution? Of uncertainty? Uncertainty over where the wine will spill, if it pours at all?

What vintage?
