Where I Find Myself

Writers Block

Posted in Poetry by chrislacour on July 11, 2008

I draw squares.

Boxes.

I should write words.

Sentences.

Instead,

four lines.

Four corners.

Over and over.

Four lines.

Four corners.

The metaphor?

They’re fucking squares.

Not words.

    Ha, a long time ago I thought I should collect all the writers block pieces in one big anthology, this one is very forceful, no despair in sight and it is also victory since it is a very cool antipoem, congratulations,

    Thanks, paul.
    I didn’t really think it made any sense, something I wrote about writers block. It’s not really writers block then, is it? But, i guess as you say, it’s a victory over the little bastard.

    Oh man, paul. Well I’m glad I’m not writing a book. I’m just trying to write some little stories.
    Simonne, having that kind of doubt during such a project has got to be difficult, but reading what you’ve written in your blog and some of the excerpts from your books, you have no reason to doubt anything that you’re doing.
