Nothing

Drawing a blank, also known as writer’s block.

Editor’s note: This is about as long as I have gone through National Poetry Writing Month before writer’s block set in. Maybe tomorrow.

Mumble, mumble, mumble.

I got nothing.
I’m drawing a blank.
If I were a pirate,
I’d be walking the plank.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
