Write On! a Poetic Knock on Writer's Block

Writer's block is a looming nightmare;
You sit at the terminal, and you just stare.
But you can prevent this from coming your way.
You simply must write something every day.

A contest or deadline will cause you to move,
To look for a topic, to get in your groove.
Perhaps you will try a new topic and see
You're an expert on anything; then you're home free!

Perhaps you'll wake up in the wee morning hours
And find your veins coursing with creative powers;
You'll stumble downstairs and start typing off steam
Until you have polished and published your dream.

Just don't be afraid of the dreaded white space.
Fill it up quickly, with no time to waste.
Once you are rolling, you'll change and revise,
As your masterpiece grows, right in front of your eyes.

You might write a poem, a story or song;
Or draft a report, be it shorter or long.
Just keep those keys tapping, and soon you will find
You'll write like a fiend, wholly out of your mind!
