THE WALL

I've hit the wall

full stop ! 

I'm blocked out

with nowt

to say

I can't play a note

or even hum

a tune.

 

I've tried  spoon

feeding

my eyes

and rubbing

my thighs

like Vic Reeves

but I can't

retrieve

a rhyme or thought

my brain age

is nought.

 

I'm distraught !

 

Please help

por favor

before I bang  my head

against the door.

Try writing a haiku Mike ;) I find trying to write to different forms can sometimes lift that barrier.
