Blocked Artery


poetry rolling around in my head
trying to pull from what’s not been said…
        frustration watching the cursor blink
                                               its steady wink
                                                    because ink  
                                       couldn’t find a vein
                                         to bleed on paper

Ha! What is human/organic and what is machine is so mixed up here in the blinking cursor and bleeding ink and very charming. Hope all is well, Susie. I have left FB for a bit so especially nice to see you here!, k.

Ah the poets dilemma of having an idea but not finding the right words and we don't need to be goaded by a b....y light!

A true metaphor. Unkindled inspiration are the plaque in poems!
