Building Blocks

OK

Relax now

Just let it

Come out of you

Give it a chance

To pour out of you

Like a wonderful

Literary waterfall

Sure

You’ve been blocked

Before and this one

May have been

The worst one yet

Because you felt

It hard in your

Bones

But it will be over tonight

Allow yourself to scream a bit

And punch your thigh

As you take your seat

Bring with you some

Coffee and light a candle

For good luck

Play some good music

Preferably

Something hard

And nasty

From the 60’s

Like maybe

96 Tears

Yeah,

Now you’re talking Cowboy

And lookey here

It’s coming out

No epidermal needed

It’s a natural birth

Look how adorable that little

Poem is

And your hips are wide

My friend

You can do this

Over and over

Until you are

Satisfied

(Maybe when you are 80)

Be sure not to

Celebrate too much

Keep your pride in check

Nothing worse than a

Happy satisfied poet

And take a look at

The screen will you

Letters!  Words! A Poem!

Be sure to save it in the

Folder that you hide from

Your family

And

Think about how good

It will look

In that book that will be published

Most likely

After you’re passing

But

That’s OK

You are out of your

Block now

And there is only one

More thing

To do now

Write another one

And another

And

So on…
