From The Mixed up Mind of William Fall Poetry

The Blank White Page

Guess what Will did this semester!
That’s right. I took a poetry class.
As I get back into my summer schedule, what better way to start than with a poem on overcoming writer’s block?
Here’s to a great summer!

The worst of the writer is the blank white page.

It’s blinding emptiness begs to be filled,

yet avoids all attempts.

The writer fights with the blank white page.

His mind his greatest friend and foe.

slowly the marks of the battle appear:

words, letters, people, worlds.

The best of the writer is the blank white page.

A challenge, a foe,

A world waiting for discovery
