Sitting in the porch
I sift through my mind
For inspiration to knock.
The creative mind shuts down
And threw the key away
For me to go awry!
Rhymes, Proses, Poems, Stories –
They all seem to have chosen not to come my way,
I sigh!
I look out with a mind,
That is mere blank.
Roses and lilies dancing merrily,
Gentle breeze creating new rhythms,
Plants and trees joining in the party,
A musical mystery for the eyes.
Inspiration strikes,
And creativity blooms, once again!

This poem is inspired by Write Tribe’s Festival of Words.
sometimes the muse is right in front of us… and who else could be better than Nature. π Writer’s block can indeed be so frustrating.

So many times that mind goes blank and then something suddenly sparks an idea. Nature is truly inspirational.

Lovely poem, Vinitha. I so agree. Nothing like Nature to inspire us when we feel blocked. I love my birds and flowers. Springtime in Canada is such a wonderfully inspiring time of year.
