Shailaja's Cure For Writer's Block
I dedicate this poem to our faithful leader of Blog-A-Rhythm,
Shailaja Vishwanath.
She keeps us all inspired, makes us laugh and keeps us writing.
(GULP! *sweat pours from brow at the the thought of those pointy-toed boots*)
Do you
suffer from Writer’s Block?
Don’t you
wonder why?
You sit and
watch that ticking clock
And feel
like you’re going to cry,
Sit yourself
down and write something small
It doesn’t
even have to be that wise,
Get some
words down and try not to stall
That’s what
Shailaja would advise,
If all else
fails, Shailaja can help
She knows
just what you need,
Of course it
just might make you yelp
But she
promises you won’t bleed,
See those
boots she’s wearing
The black
ones with the pointy toes,
So slinky,
shiny and daring
Guaranteed
to cure blank page woes,
Just one jab
is all it will take
Then the
writing will flow,
So much for
your Facebook break
On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!
