At home
my aimless mind
writes poemless lines.
Homeless under
trees or sky,
my lines take aim
to fly.

Writer’s Block

The Muse is trapped and tapping
on the glass walls of my brain:
incessant, rhythmic rapping
redefining migraine pain.
Disregarding common sense,
I take a walk alone
into the night dark street
and down the center line from home.
The captive Mistress Artist
swells her cadence in my ear
until the lines I can't release
spill over as a tear.

I wrote this in college when I was apparently very frustrated by writer's block and also had had way too much caffeine.
