I've lost my poetic edge (Free verse) by thepinkbunnyofdoom

I can't seem to find it That sense of motovation The drive I've had for most of my life Sure I still see things in a poetic view But I don't know Maybe its just writers block Possibly loss of insperation But whatever it is.. I've been sleeping at night Which should tell you something is wrong I haven't been smoking half as many cigarettes I'm not sitting around thinking Feeling lonely or rejected What scares me most Is that this isn't like me I haven't picked up a guitar in ages Much less howled in furious rage My skin no longer feels like my prison Nor do words flow from my pen Scares me to say it, But I've lost my poetic edge

One of the first symptoms of writer's block (among dunces, at least) is that you start writing poetry about writing poetry, or "meta-poetry" if you will. At the very least you write shitty poemes about the room you are sitting in, or what you can see out your window (this actually inspired my timeless classic AIDS in a van), or how it's not your fault you've got writer's block because you're off your mash on ecstasy pipes. Here are some classic examples:

Having exposed his meta-poemes for what they are - the thoughtless ramblings of a teenage mega-spastic blundering through poemeranker on a giant cack wagon - my advice to thepinkbunnyofdoom would be to give up and move on to meta-meta-poetry. Here, I'll start you off...

I tried to write some poemes about writing poemes
But they were shit
