I stare at the blank page
the blank page
stares right back at me
mocking my ineptitude

once again i’m confronted
with the writer’s nemesis
blank-pqge-itis

a disease common to all wordsmiths
you stare at the blank page
for hours, sometimes days
frustrated

by the lack

of a new idea

until one finally flashes across your mind screen
