Pencil in hand

I stare at this blank page

Ideas raging in my head

I stare at this blank page

All the thoughts stop at the pencil tip

I stare at this blank page

Imagining my messy handwriting filling the lines

I stare at this blank page

This goes on and on

I stare at this blank page

My creativity seems constipated

I stare at this blank page

Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’ fills my ears

I stare at this blank page

The smell of wet grass wafts through the window

I stare at this blank page

The dog’s begging for a walk

I stare at this blank page

Scenes of my stories dance around my brain

I stare at this blank page

Oh, look!

I filled the blank page!
