DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK!!!
Create a prose based on the following concept: (intended conceptually, not literally)
Writers block shows up rather regularly, interrupts us, is painful, irritating and often causes headaches. Occasionally indigestion. Playing off the common phrase "aunt flow," (menstruation), one could compare aunt flow (menstruation) and writers block (anti-flow). You can use this play on words and concept to fuel a rant, a comparison, whatever you please. But I think we all agree writers block is a vile creature that must be executed without mercy. May the rage commence!
Writer’s Spell (Sonnet 1)
My words bear tarnish of a darkened place
Where they did languish long, against their will
While defying my attempts to efface
Their existence, though I needed them still
To be written, ever seen, ever heard
In spite of the pain, if loosed, they could bring.
But I'll release them now, each held back word
And no longer deny their chance to sing.
I only ask that new words, far less base
Will be born in me, from a brighter place.
