My Poetic Hiatus: A Poem by Santosh Meher
My Poetic Hiatus
I am sure that these days
I'm facing a writer's block,
It seems I've completely
lost all my poetic stock!!
My poetic hiatus has now
become very long drawn,
God only knows where
All my thoughts have gone
Words somehow refuse
to orchestrate in my brain;
And any forced attempt
also seems to be in vain
Is it that all my poetic
inclination has saturated?
Or that my creativity has
magically evaporated?
If I sit to write something
I end up totally blank;
It feels as if I'm dealing
with an insolvent bank
All my mental prodding too
seems to be of no use;
It is as if my creative brain
is now in a state of disuse
Life without any poetry
is undoubtedly no good;
It is as worst as eating
insipid, boiled, bland food
I now begin to feel that I've
depleted all my creativity;
It appears that now I have
lost all my poetic ability
Then suddenly I realise
I haven't lost my drive;
What I've penned is poetic
-Wow, my art is still alive!
